More quotes by Oliver Goldsmith
I have found by experience that they who have spent all their lives in cities contract not only an effeminacy of habit, but of thinking.
Oliver Goldsmith
The man recovered of the bite, The dog it was that died.
Oliver Goldsmith
The way to acquire lasting esteem is not by the fewness of a writer's faults, but the greatness of his beauties, and our noblest works are generally most replete with both.
Oliver Goldsmith
We seldom speak of the virtue which we have, but much oftener of that which we lack.
Oliver Goldsmith
Where wealth and freedom reign contentment fails, And honour sinks where commerce long prevails.
Oliver Goldsmith
Death when unmasked shows us a friendly face and is a terror only at a distance.
Oliver Goldsmith
As boys should be educated with temperance, so the first greatest lesson that should be taught them is to admire frugality. It is by the exercise of this virtue alone they can ever expect to be useful members of society.
Oliver Goldsmith
The whitewash'd wall, the nicely sanded floor, The varnish'd clock that click'd behind the door The chest, contriv'd a double debt to pay,- A bed by night, a chest of drawers by day.
Oliver Goldsmith
Ceremonies are different in every country, but true politeness is everywhere the same.
Oliver Goldsmith
A kind and gentle heart he had, To comfort friends and foes The naked every day he clad When he put on his clothes.
Oliver Goldsmith
Let schoolmasters puzzle their brain, With grammar, and nonsense, and learning, Good liquor, I stoutly maintain, Gives genius a better discerning.
Oliver Goldsmith
As some tall cliff that lifts its awful form, Swells from the vale, and midway leaves the storm,- Though round its breast the rolling clouds are spread, Eternal sunshine settles on its head.
Oliver Goldsmith
To the last moment of his breath, On hope the wretch relies And even the pang preceding death Bids expectation rise.
Oliver Goldsmith
Take a dollar from a thousand and it will be a thousand no more.
Oliver Goldsmith
Error is always talkative.
Oliver Goldsmith
A mind too vigorous and active, serves only to consume the body to which it is joined.
Oliver Goldsmith
The company of fools may first make us smile, but in the end we always feel melancholy.
Oliver Goldsmith
When any one of our relations was found to be a person of a very bad character, a troublesome guest, or one we desired to get rid of, upon his leaving my house I ever took care to lend him a riding-coat, or a pair of boots, or sometimes a horse of small value, and I always had the satisfaction of finding he never came back to return them.
Oliver Goldsmith
Don't let us make imaginary evils, when you know we have so many real ones to encounter.
Oliver Goldsmith
Elegy on the Death of a Mad Dog And in that town a dog was found, As many dogs there be, Both mongrel, puppy, whelp, and hound, And curs of low degree.
Oliver Goldsmith
