Oliver Goldsmith
As some tall cliff that lifts its awful form, Swells from the vale, and midway leaves the storm,- Though round its breast the rolling clouds are spread, Eternal sunshine settles on its head.
Oliver Goldsmith
Every acknowledgment of gratitude is a circumstance of humiliation and some are found to submit to frequent mortifications of this kind, proclaiming what obligations they owe, merely because they think it in some measure cancels the debt.
Oliver Goldsmith
He makes a very handsome corpse and becomes his coffin prodigiously.
Oliver Goldsmith
While selfishness joins hands with no one of the virtues, benevolence is allied to them all.
Oliver Goldsmith
A flattering painter, who made it his care To draw men as they ought to be, not as they are.
Oliver Goldsmith
In my time, the follies of the town crept slowly among us, but now they travel faster than a stagecoach.
Oliver Goldsmith
A book may be very amusing with numerous errors, or it may be very dull without a single absurdity.
Oliver Goldsmith
