The pictures placed for ornament and use, The twelve good rules, the royal game of goose.
Oliver Goldsmith
Error is ever talkative.
Oliver Goldsmith
Don't let us make imaginary evils, when you know we have so many real ones to encounter.
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

Oliver Goldsmith
There is yet a silent agony in which the mind appears to disdain all external help, and broods over its distresses with gloomy reserve.

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
Life at the greatest and best is but a froward child, that must be humored and coaxed a little till it falls asleep, and then all the care is over.
Oliver Goldsmith
As for murmurs, mother, we grumble a little now and then, to be sure but there's no love lost between us.
Oliver Goldsmith
The wretch condemn'd with life to part, Still, still on hope relies And every pang that rends the heart Bids expectation rise.
Oliver Goldsmith
This is that eloquence the ancients represented as lightning, bearing down every opposer this the power which has turned whole assemblies into astonishment, admiration and awe- - that is described by the torrent, the flame, and every other instance of irresistible impetuosity.
Oliver Goldsmith
The fortunate circumstances of our lives are generally found, at last, to be of our own producing.
Oliver Goldsmith
Books are necessary to correct the vices of the polite but those vices are ever changing, and the antidote should be changed accordingly should still be new.
Oliver Goldsmith
Such dainties to them, their health it might hurt It 's like sending them ruffles when wanting a shirt.
Oliver Goldsmith
Life is a journey that must be traveled no matter how bad the roads and accommodations.
Oliver Goldsmith
Pity and friendship are two passions incompatible with each other.
Oliver Goldsmith
