Where'er I roam, whatever realms to see, My heart untravelled, fondly turns to thee Still to my brother turns, with ceaseless pain, And drags at each remove a lengthening chain.

More quotes by Oliver Goldsmith
Whatever the skill of any country may be in the sciences, it is from its excellence in polite learning alone that it must expect a character from posterity.
Oliver Goldsmith
I have visited many countries, and have been in cities without number, yet never did I enter a town which could not produce ten or twelve little great men all fancying themselves known to the rest of the world, and complimenting each other upon their extensive reputation.
Oliver Goldsmith
A modest woman, dressed out in all her finery, is the most tremendous object of the whole creation.
Oliver Goldsmith

Oliver Goldsmith
True wisdom consists of tracing effects to their causes.
Oliver Goldsmith
Error is ever talkative.
Oliver Goldsmith
The bashful virgin's sidelong looks of love.

Oliver Goldsmith
The fortunate circumstances of our lives are generally found, at last, to be of our own producing.
Oliver Goldsmith
Don't let us make imaginary evils, when you know we have so many real ones to encounter.
Oliver Goldsmith
Processions, cavalcades, and all that fund of gay frippery, furnished out by tailors, barbers, and tire-women, mechanically influence the mind into veneration an emperor in his nightcap would not meet with half the respect of an emperor with a crown.
Oliver Goldsmith
I always get the better when I argue alone.
Oliver Goldsmith
Ask me no questions, and I'll tell you no lies.
Oliver Goldsmith
The more various our artificial necessities, the wider is our circle of pleasure for all pleasure consists in obviating necessities as they rise luxury, therefore, as it increases our wants, increases our capacity for happiness
Oliver Goldsmith
Careless their merits or their faults to scan, His pity gave ere charity began. Thus to relieve the wretched was his pride, And even his failings lean'd to Virtue's side.
Oliver Goldsmith
