They might be happier among their equals.
Oliver Goldsmith

Oliver Goldsmith
As in some Irish houses, where things are so-so, One gammon of bacon hangs up for a show But, for eating a rasher of what they take pride in, They'd as soon think of eating the pan it is fried in.
Oliver Goldsmith

Oliver Goldsmith
If one wishes to become rich they must appear rich.
Oliver Goldsmith
If you don't ask me questions, I can't give you an untrue answer.
Oliver Goldsmith
O Luxury! thou curst by Heaven's decree!
Oliver Goldsmith
