Oliver Goldsmith

Oliver Goldsmith

Oliver Goldsmith
You, that are going to be married, think things can never be done too fast: but we that are old, and know what we are about, must elope methodically, madam.
Oliver Goldsmith

Oliver Goldsmith
Them that asks no questions isn't told a lie.
Oliver Goldsmith

Oliver Goldsmith
The very pink of perfection.
Oliver Goldsmith
He makes a very handsome corpse and becomes his coffin prodigiously.
Oliver Goldsmith
Success consists of getting up just one more time than you fall.
Oliver Goldsmith
Modesty seldom resides in a breast that is not enriched with nobler virtues.
Oliver Goldsmith
There is unspeakable pleasure attending the life of a voluntary student.
Oliver Goldsmith
Every absurdity has a champion to defend it.
Oliver Goldsmith
Take a dollar from a thousand and it will be a thousand no more.
Oliver Goldsmith
A flattering painter, who made it his care To draw men as they ought to be, not as they are.
Oliver Goldsmith
How blest is he who crowns in shades like these A youth of labour with an age of ease!
Oliver Goldsmith
