More quotes by Oliver Goldsmith
The person whose clothes are extremely fine I am too apt to consider as not being possessed of any superiority of fortune, but resembling those Indians who are found to wear all the gold they have in the world in a bob at the nose.
Oliver Goldsmith
Even children follow'd with endearing wile, And pluck'd his gown, to share the good man's smile.
Oliver Goldsmith
A man's own heart must ever be given to gain that of another.
Oliver Goldsmith
Though very poor, may still be very blest.
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
As boys should be educated with temperance, so the first greatest lesson that should be taught them is to admire frugality. It is by the exercise of this virtue alone they can ever expect to be useful members of society.
Oliver Goldsmith
You can preach a better sermon with your life than with your lips.
Oliver Goldsmith
How blest is he who crowns in shades like these A youth of labour with an age of ease!
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 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
Them that asks no questions isn't told a lie.
Oliver Goldsmith
And the weak soul, within itself unbless'd, Leans for all pleasure on another's breast.
Oliver Goldsmith
In arguing too, the parson own'd his skill, For e'en though vanquish'd he could argue still While words of learned length and thundering sound Amaz'd the gazing rustics rang'd around And still they gaz'd, and still the wonder grew That one small head could carry all he knew.
Oliver Goldsmith
Turn, gentle Hermit of the Dale, And guide my lonely way To where yon taper cheers the vale With hospitable ray.
Oliver Goldsmith
Thus love is the most easy and agreeable, and gratitude the most humiliating, affection of the mind. We never reflect on the man we love without exulting in our choice, while he who has bound us to him by benefits alone rises to our ideas as a person to whom we have in some measure forfeited our freedom.
Oliver Goldsmith
Pride in their port, defiance in their eye, I see the lords of humankind pass by.
Oliver Goldsmith
If you don't ask me questions, I can't give you an untrue answer.
Oliver Goldsmith
Every absurdity has a champion to defend it.
Oliver Goldsmith
So the loud torrent, and the whirlwind's roar, But bind him to his native mountains more.
Oliver Goldsmith
To the last moment of his breath, On hope the wretch relies And even the pang preceding death Bids expectation rise.
Oliver Goldsmith
