More quotes by Oliver Goldsmith
A mind too vigorous and active, serves only to consume the body to which it is joined.
Oliver Goldsmith
Where wealth accumulates, men decay.
Oliver Goldsmith
The fortunate circumstances of our lives are generally found, at last, to be of our own producing.
Oliver Goldsmith
Fortune is ever seen accompanying industry.
Oliver Goldsmith
Friendship is made up of esteem and pleasure pity is composed of sorrow and contempt: the mind may for some time fluctuate between them, but it can never entertain both at once.
Oliver Goldsmith
How blest is he who crowns in shades like these A youth of labour with an age of ease!
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
Laws grind the poor, and rich men rule the law.
Oliver Goldsmith
There is a greatness in being generous, and there is only simple justice in satisfying creditors. Generosity is the part of the soul raised above the vulgar.
Oliver Goldsmith
And e'en while fashion's brightest arts decoy, The heart distrusting asks if this be joy.
Oliver Goldsmith
You, that are going to be married, think things can never be done too fast: but we that are old, and know what we are about, must elope methodically, madam.
Oliver Goldsmith
Popular glory is a perfect coquette her lovers must toil, feel every inquietude, indulge every caprice, and perhaps at last be jilted into the bargain. True glory, on the other hand, resembles a woman of sense her admirers must play no tricks. They feel no great anxiety, for they are sure in the end of being rewarded in proportion to their merit.
Oliver Goldsmith
A flattering painter, who made it his care To draw men as they ought to be, not as they are.
Oliver Goldsmith
All that philosophy can teach is to be stubborn or sullen under misfortunes.
Oliver Goldsmith
And still they gazed, and still the wonder grew, that one small head could carry all he knew.
Oliver Goldsmith
Honour sinks where commerce long prevails.
Oliver Goldsmith
The volumes of antiquity, like medals, may very well serve to amuse the curious, but the works of the moderns, like the current coin of a kingdom, are much better for immediate use.
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
There is nothing so absurd or ridiculous that has not at some time been said by some philosopher. Fontenelle says he would undertake to persuade the whole public of readers to believe that the sun was neither the cause of light or heat, if he could only get six philosophers on his side.
Oliver Goldsmith
There is unspeakable pleasure attending the life of a voluntary student.
Oliver Goldsmith
