More quotes by Oliver Goldsmith
We are all sure of two things, at least we shall suffer and we shall all die.
Oliver Goldsmith
What real good does an addition to a fortune already sufficient procure? Not any. Could the great man, by having his fortune increased, increase also his appetites, then precedence might be attended with real amusement.
Oliver Goldsmith
Silence gives consent.
Oliver Goldsmith
And still they gazed, and still the wonder grew, that one small head could carry all he knew.
Oliver Goldsmith
The volume of Nature is the book of knowledge.
Oliver Goldsmith
In all the silent manliness of grief.
Oliver Goldsmith
No vernal blooms their torpid rocks array, But winter lingering chills the lap of May No zephyr fondly sues the mountain's breast, But meteors glare, and stormy glooms invest.
Oliver Goldsmith
Friendship is made up of esteem and pleasure pity is composed of sorrow and contempt: the mind may for some time fluctuate between them, but it can never entertain both at once.
Oliver Goldsmith
In my time, the follies of the town crept slowly among us, but now they travel faster than a stagecoach.
Oliver Goldsmith
It seemed to me pretty plain, that they had more of love than matrimony in them.
Oliver Goldsmith
Amid thy desert-walks the lapwing flies, And tires their echoes with unvaried cries.
Oliver Goldsmith
When any one of our relations was found to be a person of a very bad character, a troublesome guest, or one we desired to get rid of, upon his leaving my house I ever took care to lend him a riding-coat, or a pair of boots, or sometimes a horse of small value, and I always had the satisfaction of finding he never came back to return them.
Oliver Goldsmith
It has been well observed that few are better qualified to give others advice than those who have taken the least of it themselves.
Oliver Goldsmith
A man's own heart must ever be given to gain that of another.
Oliver Goldsmith
If one wishes to become rich they must appear rich.
Oliver Goldsmith
A mind too vigorous and active, serves only to consume the body to which it is joined.
Oliver Goldsmith
A traveler of taste will notice that the wise are polite all over the world, but the fool only at home.
Oliver Goldsmith
Both wit and understanding are trifles without integrity it is that which gives value to every character. The ignorant peasant, without fault, is greater than the philosopher with many for what is genius or courage without a heart?
Oliver Goldsmith
A volcano may be considered as a cannon of immense size.
Oliver Goldsmith
All his faults are such that one loves him still the better for them.
Oliver Goldsmith
