More quotes by Oliver Goldsmith
And e'en while fashion's brightest arts decoy, The heart distrusting asks if this be joy.
Oliver Goldsmith

Oliver Goldsmith
It is not easy to recover an art when once lost.
Oliver Goldsmith

Oliver Goldsmith

Oliver Goldsmith
The very pink of perfection.
Oliver Goldsmith

Oliver Goldsmith
Let observation with observant view, Observe mankind from China to Peru.
Oliver Goldsmith
Politeness is the result of good sense and good nature.
Oliver Goldsmith
All the bloomy flush of life is fled.
Oliver Goldsmith
In all the silent manliness of grief.
Oliver Goldsmith
Hope, like the gleaming taper's light, Adorns and cheers our way And still, as darker grows the night, Emits a brighter ray.
Oliver Goldsmith
While selfishness joins hands with no one of the virtues, benevolence is allied to them all.
Oliver Goldsmith
