More quotes by Oliver Goldsmith
There is unspeakable pleasure attending the life of a voluntary student.
Oliver Goldsmith
Could a man live by it, it were not unpleasant employment to be a poet.
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
Crimes generally punish themselves.
Oliver Goldsmith
Processions, cavalcades, and all that fund of gay frippery, furnished out by tailors, barbers, and tire-women, mechanically influence the mind into veneration an emperor in his nightcap would not meet with half the respect of an emperor with a crown.
Oliver Goldsmith
Ridicule has even been the most powerful enemy of enthusiasm, and properly the only antagonist that can be opposed to it with success.
Oliver Goldsmith
The dog, to gain some private ends, Went mad, and bit the man.
Oliver Goldsmith
The work of eradicating crimes is not by making punishment familiar, but formidable.
Oliver Goldsmith
Teach erring man to spurn the rage of gain.
Oliver Goldsmith
He makes a very handsome corpse and becomes his coffin prodigiously.
Oliver Goldsmith
Good counsel rejected returns to enrich the givers bosom.
Oliver Goldsmith
The very pink of perfection.
Oliver Goldsmith
The pictures placed for ornament and use, The twelve good rules, the royal game of goose.
Oliver Goldsmith
Taste is the power of relishing or rejecting whatever is offered for the entertainment of the imagination.
Oliver Goldsmith
The loud laugh that spoke the vacant mind.
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
We are all sure of two things, at least we shall suffer and we shall all die.
Oliver Goldsmith
Thou source of all my bliss and all my woe, That found'st me poor at first, and keep'st me so.
Oliver Goldsmith
Ceremonies are different in every country, but true politeness is everywhere the same.
Oliver Goldsmith
Truth from his lips prevailed with double sway, and fools, who came to scoff, remained to pray.
Oliver Goldsmith
