Oliver Goldsmith
One man is born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and the other with a wooden ladle.
Oliver Goldsmith
The youth who follows his appetites too soon seizes the cup, before it has received its best ingredients, and by anticipating his pleasures, robs the remaining parts of life of their share, so that his eagerness only produces manhood of imbecility and an age of pain.
Oliver Goldsmith
Laws grind the poor, and rich men rule the law.
Oliver Goldsmith
How blest is he who crowns in shades like these A youth of labour with an age of ease!
Oliver Goldsmith
