More quotes by Oliver Goldsmith
Pity and friendship are two passions incompatible with each other.
Oliver Goldsmith
An emperor in his nightcap will not meet with half the respect of an emperor with a crown.
Oliver Goldsmith
All his faults are such that one loves him still the better for them.
Oliver Goldsmith
And the weak soul, within itself unbless'd, Leans for all pleasure on another's breast.
Oliver Goldsmith
One writer, for instance, excels at a plan or a title page, another works away at the body of the book, and a third is a dab at an index.
Oliver Goldsmith
The bashful virgin's sidelong looks of love.
Oliver Goldsmith

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

Oliver Goldsmith

Oliver Goldsmith
The volume of Nature is the book of knowledge.
Oliver Goldsmith
A volcano may be considered as a cannon of immense size.
Oliver Goldsmith
Every want that stimulates the breast becomes a source of pleasure when redressed.
Oliver Goldsmith
Vain, very vain, my weary search to find That bliss which only centers in the mind.
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
It is not easy to recover an art when once lost.
Oliver Goldsmith
Them that asks no questions isn't told a lie.
Oliver Goldsmith
