More quotes by Oliver Goldsmith
To be poor, and to seem poor, is a certain method never to rise.
Oliver Goldsmith
He makes a very handsome corpse and becomes his coffin prodigiously.
Oliver Goldsmith
That virtue which requires to be ever guarded is scarce worth the sentinel.
Oliver Goldsmith
The volumes of antiquity, like medals, may very well serve to amuse the curious, but the works of the moderns, like the current coin of a kingdom, are much better for immediate use.
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
Politeness is the result of good sense and good nature.
Oliver Goldsmith
Every absurdity has a champion to defend it.
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
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
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
Nothing is so contemptible as that affectation of wisdom, which some display, by universal incredulity.
Oliver Goldsmith
A boy will learn more true wisdom in a public school in a year than by a private education in five. It is not from masters, but from their equals, that youth learn a knowledge of the world.
Oliver Goldsmith
The pictures placed for ornament and use, The twelve good rules, the royal game of goose.
Oliver Goldsmith
You can preach a better sermon with your life than with your lips.
Oliver Goldsmith
There is nothing so absurd or ridiculous that has not at some time been said by some philosopher. Fontenelle says he would undertake to persuade the whole public of readers to believe that the sun was neither the cause of light or heat, if he could only get six philosophers on his side.
Oliver Goldsmith
Girls like to be played with and rumpled a little too sometimes.
Oliver Goldsmith
Truth from his lips prevailed with double sway, and fools, who came to scoff, remained to pray.
Oliver Goldsmith
The whitewash'd wall, the nicely sanded floor, The varnish'd clock that click'd behind the door The chest, contriv'd a double debt to pay,- A bed by night, a chest of drawers by day.
Oliver Goldsmith
Fortune is ever seen accompanying industry.
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
