One writer, for instance, excels at a plan or a title page, another works away at the body of the book, and a third is a dab at an index.

To husband out life's taper at the close, And keep the flames from wasting by repose.

Books are necessary to correct the vices of the polite; but those vices are ever changing, and the antidote should be changed accordingly should still be new.

Though very poor, may still be very blest.

Oliver Goldsmith 542 quotes

Men may be very learned, and yet very miserable; it is easy to be a deep geometrician, or a sublime astronomer, but very difficult to be a good man. I esteem, therefore, the traveller who instructs the heart, but despise him who only indulges the imagination. 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 only a vagabond.

Those who think must govern those that toil.

Ridicule has always been the enemy of enthusiasm, and the only worthy opponent to ridicule is success.

The life of a scholar seldom abounds with adventure.

Ceremonies are different in every country, but true politeness is everywhere the same.

We sometimes had those little rubs which Providence sends to enhance the value of its favors.

To what fortuitous occurrence do we not owe every pleasure and convenience of our lives.

And what is friendship but a name, A charm that lulls to sleep, A shade that follows wealth or fame, And leaves the wretch to weep?

Oliver Goldsmith 542 quotes

Where wealth and freedom reign contentment fails, And honour sinks where commerce long prevails.

Our Garrick 's a salad; for in him we see Oil, vinegar, sugar, and saltness agree!
