Oliver Goldsmith

Oliver Goldsmith
O Luxury! thou curst by Heaven's decree!
Oliver Goldsmith

Oliver Goldsmith
It is impossible to combat enthusiasm with reason for though it makes a show of resistance, it soon eludes the pressure, refers you to distinctions not to be understood, and feelings which it cannot explain. A man who would endeavor to fix an enthusiast by argument might as well attempt to spread quicksilver with his finger.
Oliver Goldsmith
Where wealth accumulates, men decay.

Oliver Goldsmith
Here lies David Garrick, describe me who can, An abridgment of all that was pleasant in man.
Oliver Goldsmith
The person whose clothes are extremely fine I am too apt to consider as not being possessed of any superiority of fortune, but resembling those Indians who are found to wear all the gold they have in the world in a bob at the nose.
Oliver Goldsmith
And the weak soul, within itself unbless'd, Leans for all pleasure on another's breast.
Oliver Goldsmith
To what fortuitous occurrence do we not owe every pleasure and convenience of our lives.
Oliver Goldsmith
The very pink of perfection.
Oliver Goldsmith
Those who think must govern those that toil.
