More quotes by Oliver Goldsmith
Thus let me hold thee to my heart, And every care resign: And we shall never, never part, My life-my all that's mine!
Oliver Goldsmith

Oliver Goldsmith
A modest woman, dressed out in all her finery, is the most tremendous object of the whole creation.
Oliver Goldsmith
The first time I read an excellent book, it is to me just as if I had gained a new friend. When I read a book over I have perused before, it resembles the meeting with an old one.
Oliver Goldsmith

Oliver Goldsmith
How blest is he who crowns in shades like these A youth of labour with an age of ease!
Oliver Goldsmith
Even children follow'd with endearing wile, And pluck'd his gown, to share the good man's smile.
Oliver Goldsmith
An emperor in his nightcap will not meet with half the respect of an emperor with a crown.
Oliver Goldsmith
The volume of Nature is the book of knowledge.
Oliver Goldsmith
Ask me no questions, and I'll tell you no lies.
Oliver Goldsmith
To be poor, and to seem poor, is a certain method never to rise.
Oliver Goldsmith
Good counsel rejected returns to enrich the givers bosom.
Oliver Goldsmith
It seemed to me pretty plain, that they had more of love than matrimony in them.
Oliver Goldsmith
Hope, like the gleaming taper
Oliver Goldsmith
O Luxury! thou curst by Heaven's decree!
Oliver Goldsmith
We are all sure of two things, at least we shall suffer and we shall all die.
Oliver Goldsmith
If you don't ask me questions, I can't give you an untrue answer.
Oliver Goldsmith
