By sports like these are all their cares beguil'd The sports of children satisfy the child.
Oliver Goldsmith
In arguing too, the parson own'd his skill, For e'en though vanquish'd he could argue still While words of learned length and thundering sound Amaz'd the gazing rustics rang'd around And still they gaz'd, and still the wonder grew That one small head could carry all he knew.

Oliver Goldsmith
Where'er I roam, whatever realms to see, My heart untravelled, fondly turns to thee Still to my brother turns, with ceaseless pain, And drags at each remove a lengthening chain.
Oliver Goldsmith
Like the tiger, that seldom desists from pursuing man after having once preyed upon human flesh, the reader who has once gratified his appetite with calumny makes ever after the most agreeable feast upon murdered reputations!
Oliver Goldsmith
We seldom speak of the virtue which we have, but much oftener of that which we lack.
Oliver Goldsmith
Persecution is a tribute the great must always pay for preeminence.
Oliver Goldsmith
If one wishes to become rich they must appear rich.
Oliver Goldsmith
