More quotes by Oliver Goldsmith
Of all kinds of ambition, that which pursues poetical fame is the wildest
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
It has been well observed that few are better qualified to give others advice than those who have taken the least of it themselves.
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
O friendship! thou fond soother of the human breast, to thee we fly in every calamity to thee the wretched seek for succor on thee the care-tired son of misery fondly relies from thy kind assistance the unfortunate always hopes relief, and may be sure of--disappointment.
Oliver Goldsmith
Pride in their port, defiance in their eye, I see the lords of humankind pass by.
Oliver Goldsmith
Thou source of all my bliss and all my woe, That found'st me poor at first, and keep'st me so.
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
Hope, like the gleaming taper's light, Adorns and cheers our way And still, as darker grows the night, Emits a brighter ray.
Oliver Goldsmith
It world be well had we more misers than we have among us.
Oliver Goldsmith
By sports like these are all their cares beguil'd The sports of children satisfy the child.
Oliver Goldsmith
Wit generally succeeds more from being happily addressed than from its native poignancy. A jest, calculated to spread at a gaming-table, may be received with, perfect indifference should it happen to drop in a mackerel-boat.
Oliver Goldsmith
Paltry affectation, strained allusions, and disgusting finery are easily attained by those who choose to wear them they are but too frequently the badges of ignorance or of stupidity, whenever it would endeavor to please.
Oliver Goldsmith
Thus let me hold thee to my heart, And every care resign: And we shall never, never part, My life-my all that's mine!
Oliver Goldsmith
You can preach a better sermon with your life than with your lips.
Oliver Goldsmith
An emperor in his nightcap will not meet with half the respect of an emperor with a crown.
Oliver Goldsmith
Girls like to be played with and rumpled a little too sometimes.
Oliver Goldsmith
And the weak soul, within itself unbless'd, Leans for all pleasure on another's breast.
Oliver Goldsmith
I always get the better when I argue alone.
Oliver Goldsmith
The mind is ever ingenious in making its own distress.
Oliver Goldsmith
