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
Vain, very vain, my weary search to find That bliss which only centers in the mind.
Oliver Goldsmith
The polite of every country seem to have but one character. A gentleman of Sweden differs but little, except in trifles, from one of any other country. It is among the vulgar we are to find those distinctions which characterize a people.
Oliver Goldsmith
Politeness is the result of good sense and good nature.
Oliver Goldsmith
Silence gives consent.
Oliver Goldsmith
The heart of every man lies open to the shafts of correction if the archer can take proper aim.
Oliver Goldsmith
Pride in their port, defiance in their eye, I see the lords of humankind pass by.
Oliver Goldsmith

Oliver Goldsmith
Every absurdity has a champion to defend it.
Oliver Goldsmith
Who pepper'd the highest was surest to please.
Oliver Goldsmith

Unequal combinations are always disadvantageous to the weaker side.
Oliver Goldsmith
A modest woman, dressed out in all her finery, is the most tremendous object of the whole creation.
Oliver Goldsmith
There is nothing so absurd or ridiculous that has not at some time been said by some philosopher. Fontenelle says he would undertake to persuade the whole public of readers to believe that the sun was neither the cause of light or heat, if he could only get six philosophers on his side.
Oliver Goldsmith
Laws grind the poor, and rich men rule the law.
Oliver Goldsmith
Honour sinks where commerce long prevails.
Oliver Goldsmith
How blest is he who crowns in shades like these A youth of labour with an age of ease!
Oliver Goldsmith
The loud laugh that spoke the vacant mind.
Oliver Goldsmith
A flattering painter, who made it his care To draw men as they ought to be, not as they are.
Oliver Goldsmith
Hope is such a bait, it covers any hook.
Oliver Goldsmith
Wit generally succeeds more from being happily addressed than from its native poignancy. A jest, calculated to spread at a gaming-table, may be received with, perfect indifference should it happen to drop in a mackerel-boat.
Oliver Goldsmith
