Oliver Goldsmith
Wisdom makes a slow defense against trouble, though a sure one in the end.
Oliver Goldsmith
Let observation with observant view, Observe mankind from China to Peru.
Oliver Goldsmith

Oliver Goldsmith
One man is born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and the other with a wooden ladle.
Oliver Goldsmith
Pride in their port, defiance in their eye, I see the lords of humankind pass by.
Oliver Goldsmith
