More quotes by Oliver Goldsmith
The man recovered of the bite, The dog it was that died.
Oliver Goldsmith
Life at the greatest and best is but a froward child, that must be humored and coaxed a little till it falls asleep, and then all the care is over.
Oliver Goldsmith
But times are alter'd trade's unfeeling train Usurp the land, and dispossess the swain Along the lawn, where scatter'd hamlets rose, Unwieldy wealth and cumbrous pomp repose.
Oliver Goldsmith
Whenever you see a gaming table be sure to know fortune is not there. Rather she is always in the company of industry.
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
Age, that lessens the enjoyment of life, increases our desire of living
Oliver Goldsmith
We are all sure of two things, at least we shall suffer and we shall all die.
Oliver Goldsmith
Why was this heart of mine formed with so much sensibility! Or why not my fortune adapted to its impulses! Tenderness without a capacity of relieving only makes the man who feels it more wretched than the object which sues for assistance.
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
Unequal combinations are always disadvantageous to the weaker side.
Oliver Goldsmith
A man who leaves home to mend himself and others is a philosopher but he who goes from country to country, guided by the blind impulse of curiosity, is a vagabond.
Oliver Goldsmith
Such dainties to them, their health it might hurt It 's like sending them ruffles when wanting a shirt.
Oliver Goldsmith
That virtue which requires to be ever guarded is scarce worth the sentinel.
Oliver Goldsmith
All that philosophy can teach is to be stubborn or sullen under misfortunes.
Oliver Goldsmith
The youth who follows his appetites too soon seizes the cup, before it has received its best ingredients, and by anticipating his pleasures, robs the remaining parts of life of their share, so that his eagerness only produces manhood of imbecility and an age of pain.
Oliver Goldsmith
Politics resemble religion attempting to divest either of ceremony is the most certain mode of bringing either into contempt.
Oliver Goldsmith
I always get the better when I argue alone.
Oliver Goldsmith
If the soul be happily disposed, every thing becomes capable of affording entertainment, and distress will almost want a name.
Oliver Goldsmith
In all the silent manliness of grief.
Oliver Goldsmith
To make a fine gentleman, several trades are required, but chiefly a barber.
Oliver Goldsmith
