Oliver Goldsmith
A volcano may be considered as a cannon of immense size.
Oliver Goldsmith
Error is ever talkative.
Oliver Goldsmith
The youth who follows his appetites too soon seizes the cup, before it has received its best ingredients, and by anticipating his pleasures, robs the remaining parts of life of their share, so that his eagerness only produces manhood of imbecility and an age of pain.
Oliver Goldsmith
You can preach a better sermon with your life than with your lips.
Oliver Goldsmith
The work of eradicating crimes is not by making punishment familiar, but formidable.
Oliver Goldsmith
