What real good does an addition to a fortune already sufficient procure? Not any. Could the great man, by having his fortune increased, increase also his appetites, then precedence might be attended with real amusement.

Oliver Goldsmith 542 quotes

Eternal blessings crown my ear...

Eternal blessings crown my earliest friend,
And round his dwelling guardian saints attend.

Oliver Goldsmith 542 quotes

A man's own heart must ever be given to gain that of another.

Oliver Goldsmith 542 quotes

Them that asks no questions is...

Them that asks no questions isn't told a lie.

Oliver Goldsmith 542 quotes

No vernal blooms their torpid ...

No vernal blooms their torpid rocks array,
But winter lingering chills the lap of May;
No zephyr fondly sues the mountain's breast,
But meteors glare, and stormy glooms invest.

Oliver Goldsmith 542 quotes

Pity, though it may often reli...

Pity, though it may often relieve, is but, at best, a short-lived passion, and seldom affords distress more than transitory assistance; with some it scarce lasts from the first impulse till the hand can be put into the pocket.

Oliver Goldsmith 542 quotes

Politics resemble religion; at...

Politics resemble religion; attempting to divest either of ceremony is the most certain mode of bringing either into contempt.

Oliver Goldsmith 542 quotes

The work of eradicating crimes...

The work of eradicating crimes is not by making punishment familiar, but formidable.

Oliver Goldsmith 542 quotes

Mortifications are often more painful than real calamities.

Here let me sit in sorrow for mankind.

Oliver Goldsmith 542 quotes

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 unspeakable pleasure attending the life of a voluntary student.

Oliver Goldsmith 542 quotes

A boy will learn more true wisdom in a public school in a year than by a private education in five. It is not from masters, but from their equals, that youth learn a knowledge of the world.

Oliver Goldsmith 542 quotes

The way to acquire lasting est...

The way to acquire lasting esteem is not by the fewness of a writer's faults, but the greatness of his beauties, and our noblest works are generally most replete with both.

Error is always talkative.

Oliver Goldsmith 542 quotes

Taste is the power of relishing or rejecting whatever is offered for the entertainment of the imagination.

Teach erring man to spurn the rage of gain.

Oliver Goldsmith 542 quotes

Titles and mottoes to books ar...

Titles and mottoes to books are like escutcheons and dignities in the hands of a king. The wise sometimes condescend to accept of them; but none but a fool would imagine them of any real importance. We ought to depend upon intrinsic merit, and not the slender helps of the title.

Oliver Goldsmith 542 quotes

But times are alter'd; trade's unfeeling train
Usurp the land, and dispossess the swain;
Along the lawn, where scatter'd hamlets rose,
Unwieldy wealth and cumbrous pomp repose.
