Oliver Goldsmith

Oliver Goldsmith

Oliver Goldsmith

Oliver Goldsmith
The best way to make your audience laugh is to start laughing yourself.
Oliver Goldsmith
The very pink of perfection.
Oliver Goldsmith
As for murmurs, mother, we grumble a little now and then, to be sure but there's no love lost between us.
Oliver Goldsmith
So the loud torrent, and the whirlwind's roar, But bind him to his native mountains more.
Oliver Goldsmith
The wisdom of the ignorant somewhat resembles the instinct of animals it is diffused in but a very narrow sphere, but within the circle it acts with vigor, uniformity, and success.
Oliver Goldsmith
