More quotes by Oliver Goldsmith
Crimes generally punish themselves.
Oliver Goldsmith
All the bloomy flush of life is fled.
Oliver Goldsmith
I can't say whether we had more wit among us now than usual, but I am certain we had more laughing, which answered the end as well.
Oliver Goldsmith
The man recovered of the bite, The dog it was that died.
Oliver Goldsmith
Religion does what philosophy could never do it shows the equal dealings of Heaven to the happy and the unhappy, and levels all human enjoyments to nearly the same standard. It gives to both rich and poor the same happiness hereafter, and equal hopes to aspire after it.
Oliver Goldsmith
Eternal blessings crown my earliest friend, And round his dwelling guardian saints attend.
Oliver Goldsmith
For the first time, the best may err, art may persuade, and novelty spread out its charms. The first fault is the child of simplicity but every other the offspring of guilt.
Oliver Goldsmith
A mind too vigorous and active, serves only to consume the body to which it is joined.
Oliver Goldsmith
Don't let us make imaginary evils, when you know we have so many real ones to encounter.
Oliver Goldsmith
It world be well had we more misers than we have among us.
Oliver Goldsmith
What real good does an addition to a fortune already sufficient procure? Not any. Could the great man, by having his fortune increased, increase also his appetites, then precedence might be attended with real amusement.
Oliver Goldsmith
Elegy on the Death of a Mad Dog And in that town a dog was found, As many dogs there be, Both mongrel, puppy, whelp, and hound, And curs of low degree.
Oliver Goldsmith
As some tall cliff that lifts its awful form, Swells from the vale, and midway leaves the storm,- Though round its breast the rolling clouds are spread, Eternal sunshine settles on its head.
Oliver Goldsmith
Nothing is so contemptible as that affectation of wisdom, which some display, by universal incredulity.
Oliver Goldsmith
Whatever the skill of any country may be in the sciences, it is from its excellence in polite learning alone that it must expect a character from posterity.
Oliver Goldsmith
It is not easy to recover an art when once lost.
Oliver Goldsmith
Hope is such a bait, it covers any hook.
Oliver Goldsmith
While selfishness joins hands with no one of the virtues, benevolence is allied to them all.
Oliver Goldsmith
Vain, very vain, my weary search to find That bliss which only centers in the mind.
Oliver Goldsmith
An emperor in his nightcap will not meet with half the respect of an emperor with a crown.
Oliver Goldsmith
