Oliver Goldsmith
A modest woman, dressed out in all her finery, is the most tremendous object of the whole creation.
Oliver Goldsmith
If you don't ask me questions, I can't give you an untrue answer.
Oliver Goldsmith
Politeness is the result of good sense and good nature.
Oliver Goldsmith
You can preach a better sermon with your life than with your lips.
Oliver Goldsmith
He makes a very handsome corpse and becomes his coffin prodigiously.
Oliver Goldsmith
A book may be very amusing with numerous errors, or it may be very dull without a single absurdity.

To a philosopher no circumstance, however trifling, is too minute.
Oliver Goldsmith
