More quotes by Oliver Goldsmith
Turn, gentle Hermit of the Dale, And guide my lonely way To where yon taper cheers the vale With hospitable ray.
Oliver Goldsmith
The life of a scholar seldom abounds with adventure.
Oliver Goldsmith
Wit generally succeeds more from being happily addressed than from its native poignancy. A jest, calculated to spread at a gaming-table, may be received with, perfect indifference should it happen to drop in a mackerel-boat.
Oliver Goldsmith
So the loud torrent, and the whirlwind's roar, But bind him to his native mountains more.
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
Every absurdity has a champion to defend it.
Oliver Goldsmith
Her modest looks the cottage might adorn, Sweet as the primrose peeps beneath the thorn.
Oliver Goldsmith
A volcano may be considered as a cannon of immense size.
Oliver Goldsmith
Thus 'tis with all their chief and constant care Is to seem everything but what they are.
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
Like the bee, we should make our industry our amusement.
Oliver Goldsmith
The ambitious are forever followed by adulation for they receive the most pleasure from flattery.
Oliver Goldsmith
Error is ever talkative.
Oliver Goldsmith
Age, that lessens the enjoyment of life, increases our desire of living
Oliver Goldsmith
Thou source of all my bliss and all my woe, That found'st me poor at first, and keep'st me so.
Oliver Goldsmith
Could a man live by it, it were not unpleasant employment to be a poet.
Oliver Goldsmith
Vain, very vain, my weary search to find That bliss which only centers in the mind.
Oliver Goldsmith
Truth from his lips prevailed with double sway, and fools, who came to scoff, remained to pray.
Oliver Goldsmith
A flattering painter, who made it his care To draw men as they ought to be, not as they are.
Oliver Goldsmith
All that philosophy can teach is to be stubborn or sullen under misfortunes.
Oliver Goldsmith
