More quotes by Oliver Goldsmith
Hope, like the gleaming taper's light, Adorns and cheers our way And still, as darker grows the night, Emits a brighter ray.
Oliver Goldsmith
So the loud torrent, and the whirlwind's roar, But bind him to his native mountains more.
Oliver Goldsmith
That virtue which requires to be ever guarded is scarce worth the sentinel.
Oliver Goldsmith
The English laws punish vice the Chinese laws do more, they reward virtue.
Oliver Goldsmith
As for disappointing them I should not so much mind but I can't abide to disappoint myself.
Oliver Goldsmith
Here lies David Garrick, describe me who can, An abridgment of all that was pleasant in man.
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
Popular glory is a perfect coquette her lovers must toil, feel every inquietude, indulge every caprice, and perhaps at last be jilted into the bargain. True glory, on the other hand, resembles a woman of sense her admirers must play no tricks. They feel no great anxiety, for they are sure in the end of being rewarded in proportion to their merit.
Oliver Goldsmith
I do not love a man who is zealous for nothing.
Oliver Goldsmith
Though very poor, may still be very blest.
Oliver Goldsmith
The bashful virgin's sidelong looks of love.
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
Error is ever talkative.
Oliver Goldsmith
The polite of every country seem to have but one character. A gentleman of Sweden differs but little, except in trifles, from one of any other country. It is among the vulgar we are to find those distinctions which characterize a people.
Oliver Goldsmith
The way to acquire lasting esteem is not by the fewness of a writer's faults, but the greatness of his beauties, and our noblest works are generally most replete with both.
Oliver Goldsmith
It is not easy to recover an art when once lost.
Oliver Goldsmith
Careless their merits or their faults to scan, His pity gave ere charity began. Thus to relieve the wretched was his pride, And even his failings lean'd to Virtue's side.
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
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
Modesty seldom resides in a breast that is not enriched with nobler virtues.
Oliver Goldsmith
