More quotes by Oliver Goldsmith
Them that asks no questions isn't told a lie.
Oliver Goldsmith
It world be well had we more misers than we have among us.
Oliver Goldsmith
In my time, the follies of the town crept slowly among us, but now they travel faster than a stagecoach.
Oliver Goldsmith
A traveler of taste will notice that the wise are polite all over the world, but the fool only at home.
Oliver Goldsmith
In arguing one should meet serious pleading with humor, and humor with serious pleading.
Oliver Goldsmith
Where'er I roam, whatever realms to see, My heart untravelled, fondly turns to thee Still to my brother turns, with ceaseless pain, And drags at each remove a lengthening chain.
Oliver Goldsmith

Oliver Goldsmith
There is unspeakable pleasure attending the life of a voluntary student.
Oliver Goldsmith
All that philosophy can teach is to be stubborn or sullen under misfortunes.
Oliver Goldsmith
This is that eloquence the ancients represented as lightning, bearing down every opposer this the power which has turned whole assemblies into astonishment, admiration and awe- - that is described by the torrent, the flame, and every other instance of irresistible impetuosity.
Oliver Goldsmith
Ceremonies are different in every country, but true politeness is everywhere the same.
Oliver Goldsmith
In all the silent manliness of grief.
Oliver Goldsmith
Pride in their port, defiance in their eye, I see the lords of humankind pass by.
Oliver Goldsmith
If one wishes to become rich they must appear rich.
Oliver Goldsmith
Pity and friendship are two passions incompatible with each other.
Oliver Goldsmith
The first blow is half the battle.
Oliver Goldsmith
Alas! the joys that fortune brings Are trifling, and decay, And those who prize the trifling things, More trifling still than they.
Oliver Goldsmith
And e'en while fashion's brightest arts decoy, The heart distrusting asks if this be joy.
Oliver Goldsmith
