More quotes by Oliver Goldsmith
Death when unmasked shows us a friendly face and is a terror only at a distance.
Oliver Goldsmith
All the sciences are, in some measure, linked with each other, and before the one is ended, the other begins.
Oliver Goldsmith
Ask me no questions, and I'll tell you no lies.
Oliver Goldsmith
The watch-dog's voice that bay'd the whispering wind, And the loud laugh that spoke the vacant mind.
Oliver Goldsmith
Quality and title have such allurements that hundreds are ready to give up all their own importance, to cringe, to flatter, to look little, and to pall every pleasure in constraint, merely to be among the great, though without the least hopes of improving their understanding or sharing their generosity. They might be happier among their equals.
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
Politics resemble religion attempting to divest either of ceremony is the most certain mode of bringing either into contempt.
Oliver Goldsmith
The pictures placed for ornament and use, The twelve good rules, the royal game of goose.
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
Though very poor, may still be very blest.
Oliver Goldsmith
While selfishness joins hands with no one of the virtues, benevolence is allied to them all.
Oliver Goldsmith
Prudery is ignorance.
Oliver Goldsmith
Life is a journey that must be traveled no matter how bad the roads and accommodations.
Oliver Goldsmith
And the weak soul, within itself unbless'd, Leans for all pleasure on another's breast.
Oliver Goldsmith
A volcano may be considered as a cannon of immense size.
Oliver Goldsmith
A silent address is the genuine eloquence of sincerity.
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
Processions, cavalcades, and all that fund of gay frippery, furnished out by tailors, barbers, and tire-women, mechanically influence the mind into veneration an emperor in his nightcap would not meet with half the respect of an emperor with a crown.
Oliver Goldsmith
Silence gives consent.
Oliver Goldsmith
The wretch condemn'd with life to part, Still, still on hope relies And every pang that rends the heart Bids expectation rise.
Oliver Goldsmith
