More quotes by Oliver Goldsmith
When lovely woman stoops to folly, and finds too late that men betray, what charm can soothe her melancholy, what art can wash her guilt away?
Oliver Goldsmith
The mind is ever ingenious in making its own distress.
Oliver Goldsmith
Want of prudence is too frequently the want of virtue.
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
Eternal blessings crown my earliest friend, And round his dwelling guardian saints attend.
Oliver Goldsmith
And the weak soul, within itself unbless'd, Leans for all pleasure on another's breast.
Oliver Goldsmith
In all the silent manliness of grief.
Oliver Goldsmith
Unequal combinations are always disadvantageous to the weaker side.
Oliver Goldsmith
I can't say whether we had more wit among us now than usual, but I am certain we had more laughing, which answered the end as well.
Oliver Goldsmith
Both wit and understanding are trifles without integrity it is that which gives value to every character. The ignorant peasant, without fault, is greater than the philosopher with many for what is genius or courage without a heart?
Oliver Goldsmith
Like the tiger, that seldom desists from pursuing man after having once preyed upon human flesh, the reader who has once gratified his appetite with calumny makes ever after the most agreeable feast upon murdered reputations!
Oliver Goldsmith
Modesty seldom resides in a breast that is not enriched with nobler virtues.
Oliver Goldsmith
There are but few talents requisite to become a popular preacher for the people are easily pleased if they perceive any endeavors in the orator to please them. The meanest qualifications will work this effect if the preacher sincerely sets about it.
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
So the loud torrent, and the whirlwind's roar, But bind him to his native mountains more.
Oliver Goldsmith
Though very poor, may still be very blest.
Oliver Goldsmith
Persecution is a tribute the great must always pay for preeminence.
Oliver Goldsmith
A traveler of taste will notice that the wise are polite all over the world, but the fool only at home.
Oliver Goldsmith
If you don't ask me questions, I can't give you an untrue answer.
Oliver Goldsmith
Pity and friendship are two passions incompatible with each other.
Oliver Goldsmith
