Fortune is ever seen accompanying industry.
Oliver Goldsmith
Teach erring man to spurn the rage of gain.
Oliver Goldsmith
Could a man live by it, it were not unpleasant employment to be a poet.
Oliver Goldsmith
The more various our artificial necessities, the wider is our circle of pleasure for all pleasure consists in obviating necessities as they rise luxury, therefore, as it increases our wants, increases our capacity for happiness
Oliver Goldsmith
In all the silent manliness of grief.
Oliver Goldsmith
Absence, like death, sets a seal on the image of those we love: we cannot realize the intervening changes which time may have effected.
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
The fortunate circumstances of our lives are generally found, at last, to be of our own producing.
Oliver Goldsmith
No vernal blooms their torpid rocks array, But winter lingering chills the lap of May No zephyr fondly sues the mountain's breast, But meteors glare, and stormy glooms invest.
Oliver Goldsmith
Politics resemble religion attempting to divest either of ceremony is the most certain mode of bringing either into contempt.
Oliver Goldsmith
I have visited many countries, and have been in cities without number, yet never did I enter a town which could not produce ten or twelve little great men all fancying themselves known to the rest of the world, and complimenting each other upon their extensive reputation.
Oliver Goldsmith
Both wit and understanding are trifles without integrity it is that which gives value to every character. The ignorant peasant, without fault, is greater than the philosopher with many for what is genius or courage without a heart?
Oliver Goldsmith
Let schoolmasters puzzle their brain, With grammar, and nonsense, and learning, Good liquor, I stoutly maintain, Gives genius a better discerning.
Oliver Goldsmith
If the soul be happily disposed, every thing becomes capable of affording entertainment, and distress will almost want a name.
Oliver Goldsmith
As in some Irish houses, where things are so-so, One gammon of bacon hangs up for a show But, for eating a rasher of what they take pride in, They'd as soon think of eating the pan it is fried in.
Oliver Goldsmith
And the weak soul, within itself unbless'd, Leans for all pleasure on another's breast.
Oliver Goldsmith
The English laws punish vice the Chinese laws do more, they reward virtue.
Oliver Goldsmith
How blest is he who crowns in shades like these A youth of labour with an age of ease!
Oliver Goldsmith
Let observation with observant view, Observe mankind from China to Peru.
Oliver Goldsmith
Of praise a mere glutton, he swallow'd what came, And the puff a dunce, he mistook it for fame Till his relish grown callous, almost to displease, Who pepper'd the highest was surest to please.
Oliver Goldsmith
