More quotes by Oliver Goldsmith
Those who think must govern those that toil.
Oliver Goldsmith
The premises being thus settled, I proceed to observe that the concatenation of self-existence, proceeding in a reciprocal duplicate ratio, naturally produces a problematical dialogism, which in some measure proves that the essence of spirituality may be referred to the second predicable.
Oliver Goldsmith
Romance and novel paint beauty in colors more charming than nature, and describe a happiness that humans never taste. How deceptive and destructive are those pictures of consummate bliss!
Oliver Goldsmith
Them that asks no questions isn't told a lie.
Oliver Goldsmith
Crimes generally punish themselves.
Oliver Goldsmith
O friendship! thou fond soother of the human breast, to thee we fly in every calamity to thee the wretched seek for succor on thee the care-tired son of misery fondly relies from thy kind assistance the unfortunate always hopes relief, and may be sure of--disappointment.
Oliver Goldsmith
The life of a scholar seldom abounds with adventure.
Oliver Goldsmith
O Luxury! thou curst by Heaven's decree!
Oliver Goldsmith
Our chief comforts often produce our greatest anxieties, and the increase in our possessions is but an inlet to new disquietudes.
Oliver Goldsmith
How blest is he who crowns in shades like these A youth of labour with an age of ease!
Oliver Goldsmith
Eternal blessings crown my earliest friend, And round his dwelling guardian saints attend.
Oliver Goldsmith
Girls like to be played with and rumpled a little too sometimes.
Oliver Goldsmith
Measures, not men, have always been my mark.
Oliver Goldsmith
A kind and gentle heart he had, To comfort friends and foes The naked every day he clad When he put on his clothes.
Oliver Goldsmith
Every want that stimulates the breast becomes a source of pleasure when redressed.
Oliver Goldsmith
If you don't ask me questions, I can't give you an untrue answer.
Oliver Goldsmith
There is yet a silent agony in which the mind appears to disdain all external help, and broods over its distresses with gloomy reserve. This is the most dangerous state of mind accidents or friendships may lessen the louder kinds of grief, but all remedies for this must be had from within, and there despair too often finds the most deadly enemy.
Oliver Goldsmith
At night returning, every labour sped, He sits him down, the monarch of a shed Smiles by his cheerful fire, and round surveys His children's looks, that brighten at the blaze While his lov'd partner, boastful of her hoard, Displays her cleanly platter on the board.
Oliver Goldsmith
This is that eloquence the ancients represented as lightning, bearing down every opposer this the power which has turned whole assemblies into astonishment, admiration and awe- - that is described by the torrent, the flame, and every other instance of irresistible impetuosity.
Oliver Goldsmith
Pride in their port, defiance in their eye, I see the lords of humankind pass by.
Oliver Goldsmith
