Oliver Goldsmith 542 quotes

To aim at excellence, our repu...

To aim at excellence, our reputation, and friends, and all must be ventured; to aim at the average we run no risk and provide little service.

Oliver Goldsmith 542 quotes

Turn, gentle Hermit of the Dale, And guide my lonely way To where yon taper cheers the vale With hospitable ray.

Oliver Goldsmith 542 quotes

Where'er I roam, whatever realms to see,
My heart untravelled, fondly turns to thee;
Still to my brother turns, with ceaseless pain,
And drags at each remove a lengthening chain.

Oliver Goldsmith 542 quotes

Fear guides more to their duty...

Fear guides more to their duty than gratitude; for one man who is virtuous from the love of virtue, from the obligation he thinks he lies under to the Giver of all, there are ten thousand who are good only from their apprehension of punishment.

Oliver Goldsmith 542 quotes

And as a bird each fond endear...

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.

The first time I read an excellent book, it is to me just as if I had gained a new friend. When I read a book over I have perused before, it resembles the meeting with an old one.

Oliver Goldsmith 542 quotes

The world is like a vast sea: ...

The world is like a vast sea: mankind like a vessel sailing on its tempestuous bosom. ... [T]he sciences serve us for oars.

We may affirm of Mr. Buffon, that which has been said of the chemists of old; though he may have failed in attaining his principal aim, of establishing a theory, yet he has brought together such a multitude of facts relative to the history of the earth, and the nature of its fossil productions, that curiosity finds ample compensation, even while it feels the want of conviction.

They please, are pleas'd, they give to get esteem Till, seeming blest, they grow to what they seem.

Oliver Goldsmith 542 quotes

I find you want me to furnish you with argument and intellects too. No, sir, these, I protest you, are too hard for me.

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

Oliver Goldsmith 542 quotes

Blame where you must, be candid where you can, And be each critic the Good-natured Man.

Age, that lessens the enjoyment of life, increases our desire of living

Blest be those feasts, with simple plenty crowned, Where all the ruddy family around Laugh at the jests or pranks that never fail Or sigh with pity at some mournful tale.
