More quotes by Oliver Goldsmith
The mind is ever ingenious in making its own distress.
Oliver Goldsmith
At night returning, every labour sped, He sits him down, the monarch of a shed Smiles by his cheerful fire, and round surveys His children's looks, that brighten at the blaze While his lov'd partner, boastful of her hoard, Displays her cleanly platter on the board.
Oliver Goldsmith
Measures, not men, have always been my mark.
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
The company of fools may first make us smile, but in the end we always feel melancholy.
Oliver Goldsmith

Oliver Goldsmith
I do not love a man who is zealous for nothing.
Oliver Goldsmith
Prudery is ignorance.
Oliver Goldsmith
There is nothing so absurd or ridiculous that has not at some time been said by some philosopher. Fontenelle says he would undertake to persuade the whole public of readers to believe that the sun was neither the cause of light or heat, if he could only get six philosophers on his side.
Oliver Goldsmith
And still they gazed, and still the wonder grew, that one small head could carry all he knew.
Oliver Goldsmith
Where wealth accumulates, men decay.
Oliver Goldsmith
There are but few talents requisite to become a popular preacher for the people are easily pleased if they perceive any endeavors in the orator to please them. The meanest qualifications will work this effect if the preacher sincerely sets about it.
Oliver Goldsmith
Take a dollar from a thousand and it will be a thousand no more.
Oliver Goldsmith
