Quote

Elegy on the Death of a Mad Dog And in that town a dog was found, As many dogs there be, Both mongrel, puppy, whelp, and hound, And curs of low degree.

More quotes by Oliver Goldsmith

Image
For the first time, the best may err, art may persuade, and novelty spread out its charms. The first fault is the child of simplicity but every other the offspring of guilt.
Oliver Goldsmith
Image
A man's own heart must ever be given to gain that of another.
Oliver Goldsmith
Image
Want of prudence is too frequently the want of virtue.
Oliver Goldsmith
Image
Wit generally succeeds more from being happily addressed than from its native poignancy. A jest, calculated to spread at a gaming-table, may be received with, perfect indifference should it happen to drop in a mackerel-boat.
Oliver Goldsmith
Image
Taste is the power of relishing or rejecting whatever is offered for the entertainment of the imagination.
Oliver Goldsmith
Image
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
Image
Absence, like death, sets a seal on the image of those we love: we cannot realize the intervening changes which time may have effected.
Oliver Goldsmith
Image
All that philosophy can teach is to be stubborn or sullen under misfortunes.
Oliver Goldsmith
Image
The wretch condemn'd with life to part, Still, still on hope relies And every pang that rends the heart Bids expectation rise.
Oliver Goldsmith
Image
Amid thy desert-walks the lapwing flies, And tires their echoes with unvaried cries.
Oliver Goldsmith
Image
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
Image
Eternal blessings crown my earliest friend, And round his dwelling guardian saints attend.
Oliver Goldsmith
Image
A book may be very amusing with numerous errors, or it may be very dull without a single absurdity.
Oliver Goldsmith
Image
And the weak soul, within itself unbless'd, Leans for all pleasure on another's breast.
Oliver Goldsmith
Image
In all the silent manliness of grief.
Oliver Goldsmith
Image
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
Image
The man recovered of the bite, The dog it was that died.
Oliver Goldsmith
Image
Pride in their port, defiance in their eye, I see the lords of humankind pass by.
Oliver Goldsmith
Image
O Luxury! thou curst by Heaven's decree!
Oliver Goldsmith
Image
The pictures placed for ornament and use, The twelve good rules, the royal game of goose.
Oliver Goldsmith
