More quotes by Oliver Goldsmith

Oliver Goldsmith

Oliver Goldsmith
The dog, to gain some private ends, Went mad, and bit the man.
Oliver Goldsmith
There is a greatness in being generous, and there is only simple justice in satisfying creditors. Generosity is the part of the soul raised above the vulgar.
Oliver Goldsmith
While Resignation gently slopes away, And all his prospects brightening to the last, His heaven commences ere the world be past.
Oliver Goldsmith
Who pepper'd the highest was surest to please.
Oliver Goldsmith
The first time I read an excellent book, it is to me just as if I had gained a new friend. When I read a book over I have perused before, it resembles the meeting with an old one.
Oliver Goldsmith
To be poor, and to seem poor, is a certain method never to rise.
Oliver Goldsmith
