More quotes by Oliver Goldsmith
Hope, like the gleaming taper
Oliver Goldsmith
What real good does an addition to a fortune already sufficient procure? Not any. Could the great man, by having his fortune increased, increase also his appetites, then precedence might be attended with real amusement.
Oliver Goldsmith
Every acknowledgment of gratitude is a circumstance of humiliation and some are found to submit to frequent mortifications of this kind, proclaiming what obligations they owe, merely because they think it in some measure cancels the debt.
Oliver Goldsmith
Hope, like the gleaming taper's light, Adorns and cheers our way And still, as darker grows the night, Emits a brighter ray.
Oliver Goldsmith
Wept o'er his wounds, or tales of sorrow done, Shoulder'd his crutch, and shew'd how fields were won.
Oliver Goldsmith
Life is a journey that must be traveled no matter how bad the roads and accommodations.
Oliver Goldsmith
Teach erring man to spurn the rage of gain.
Oliver Goldsmith
Amid thy desert-walks the lapwing flies, And tires their echoes with unvaried cries.
Oliver Goldsmith
Silence gives consent.
Oliver Goldsmith

Oliver Goldsmith
We are all sure of two things, at least we shall suffer and we shall all die.
Oliver Goldsmith
Age, that lessens the enjoyment of life, increases our desire of living
Oliver Goldsmith
Like the bee, we should make our industry our amusement.
Oliver Goldsmith
Our bounty, like a drop of water, disappears, when diffus'd too widely
Oliver Goldsmith
The English laws punish vice the Chinese laws do more, they reward virtue.
Oliver Goldsmith
O Luxury! thou curst by Heaven's decree!
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
All the sciences are, in some measure, linked with each other, and before the one is ended, the other begins.
Oliver Goldsmith
Girls like to be played with and rumpled a little too sometimes.
Oliver Goldsmith
It world be well had we more misers than we have among us.
Oliver Goldsmith
