More quotes by Oliver Goldsmith
We seldom speak of the virtue which we have, but much oftener of that which we lack.
Oliver Goldsmith
The greatest object in the universe, says a certain philosopher, is a good man struggling with adversity yet there is still a greater, which is the good man who comes to relieve it.
Oliver Goldsmith
While Resignation gently slopes away, And all his prospects brightening to the last, His heaven commences ere the world be past.
Oliver Goldsmith
The man recovered of the bite, The dog it was that died.
Oliver Goldsmith
It is not easy to recover an art when once lost.
Oliver Goldsmith
A man who leaves home to mend himself and others is a philosopher but he who goes from country to country, guided by the blind impulse of curiosity, is a vagabond.
Oliver Goldsmith
Where wealth accumulates, men decay.
Oliver Goldsmith
Why was this heart of mine formed with so much sensibility! Or why not my fortune adapted to its impulses! Tenderness without a capacity of relieving only makes the man who feels it more wretched than the object which sues for assistance.
Oliver Goldsmith
In all the silent manliness of grief.
Oliver Goldsmith
The life of a scholar seldom abounds with adventure.
Oliver Goldsmith
Take a dollar from a thousand and it will be a thousand no more.
Oliver Goldsmith
They please, are pleas'd, they give to get esteem Till, seeming blest, they grow to what they seem.
Oliver Goldsmith
Her modest looks the cottage might adorn, Sweet as the primrose peeps beneath the thorn.
Oliver Goldsmith
Modesty seldom resides in a breast that is not enriched with nobler virtues.
Oliver Goldsmith
Aspiring beggary is wretchedness itself.
Oliver Goldsmith
The soul may be compared to a field of battle, where the armies are ready every moment to encounter. Not a single vice but has a more powerful opponent, and not one virtue but may be overborne by a combination of vices.
Oliver Goldsmith
Philosophy ... should not pretend to increase our present stock, but make us economists of what we are possessed of.
Oliver Goldsmith
A volcano may be considered as a cannon of immense size.
Oliver Goldsmith
Success consists of getting up just one more time than you fall.
Oliver Goldsmith
Hope is such a bait, it covers any hook.
Oliver Goldsmith
