People seek within a short span of life to satisfy a thousand desires, each of which is insatiable.

Oliver Goldsmith 542 quotes

I have seen her and sister cry over a book for an hour together, and they said, they liked the book the better the more it made them cry.

Oliver Goldsmith 542 quotes

The soul may be compared to a...

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 542 quotes

There is nothing so absurd or ridiculous that has not at some time been said by some philosopher.

Oliver Goldsmith 542 quotes

A mind too vigorous and active, serves only to consume the body to which it is joined.

Measures, not men, have always been my mark.

Oliver Goldsmith 542 quotes

There is a greatness in being generous, and there is only simple justice in satisfying creditors. Generosity is the part of the soul raised above the vulgar.

Remote, unfriended, melancholy, slow, Or by the lazy Scheld or wandering Po.

A kind and gentle heart he had, To comfort friends and foes; The naked every day he clad When he put on his clothes.

Oliver Goldsmith 542 quotes

Filial obedience is the first...

Filial obedience is the first and greatest requisite of a state; by this we become good subjects to our emperors, capable of behaving with just subordination to our superiors, and grateful dependents on heaven; by this we become fonder of marriage, in order to be capable of exacting obedience from others in our turn; by this we become good magistrates, for early submission is the truest lesson to those who would learn to rule. By this the whole state may be said to resemble one family.

Oliver Goldsmith 542 quotes

The premises being thus settl...

The premises being thus settled, I proceed to observe that the concatenation of self-existence, proceeding in a reciprocal duplicate ratio, naturally produces a problematical dialogism, which in some measure proves that the essence of spirituality may be referred to the second predicable.

Oliver Goldsmith 542 quotes

See me, how calm I am. Ay, people are generally calm at the misfortunes of others.

Oliver Goldsmith 542 quotes

The bounds of a man's knowledge are easily concealed, if he has but prudence.

Oliver Goldsmith 542 quotes

All is not gold that glitters...

All is not gold that glitters, Pleasure seems sweet, but proves a glass of bitters

Oliver Goldsmith 542 quotes

In arguing one should meet serious pleading with humor, and humor with serious pleading.

Oliver Goldsmith 542 quotes

There is nothing magnanimous ...

There is nothing magnanimous in bearing misfortunes with fortitude, when the whole world is looking on.... He who, without friends to encourage or even without hope to alleviate his misfortunes, can behave with tranquility and indifference, is truly great.

Oliver Goldsmith 542 quotes

The dog, to gain some private ends, Went mad, and bit the man.

Oliver Goldsmith 542 quotes

Both wit and understanding ar...

Both wit and understanding are trifles without integrity; it is that which gives value to every character. The ignorant peasant, without fault, is greater than the philosopher with many; for what is genius or courage without a heart?

Oliver Goldsmith 542 quotes

The English laws punish vice; the Chinese laws do more, they reward virtue.

For just experience tells, in every soil, That those that think must govern those that toil.
