Girls like to be played with and rumpled a little too sometimes.
Oliver Goldsmith
Laws grind the poor, and rich men rule the law.
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 as a bird each fond endearment tries To tempt its new-fledg'd offspring to the skies, He tried each art, reprov'd each dull delay, Allur'd to brighter worlds, and led the way.
Oliver Goldsmith
The whitewash'd wall, the nicely sanded floor, The varnish'd clock that click'd behind the door The chest, contriv'd a double debt to pay,- A bed by night, a chest of drawers by day.
Oliver Goldsmith

The more various our artificial necessities, the wider is our circle of pleasure for all pleasure consists in obviating necessities as they rise luxury, therefore, as it increases our wants, increases our capacity for happiness
Oliver Goldsmith
Whenever you see a gaming table be sure to know fortune is not there. Rather she is always in the company of industry.
Oliver Goldsmith
It seemed to me pretty plain, that they had more of love than matrimony in them.
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
Wept o'er his wounds, or tales of sorrow done, Shoulder'd his crutch, and shew'd how fields were won.
Oliver Goldsmith
Teach erring man to spurn the rage of gain.
Oliver Goldsmith
