There is probably no country so barbarous that would not disclose all it knew, if it received equivalent information; and I am apt to think that a person who was ready to give more knowledge than he received would be welcome wherever he came.

Let observation with observant view,
Observe mankind from China to Peru.

Those who place their affections at first on trifles for amusement, will find these trifles become at last their most serious concerns.

Every want that stimulates the breast becomes a source of pleasure when redressed.

Oliver Goldsmith 542 quotes

Wit generally succeeds more fr...

Wit generally succeeds more from being happily addressed than from its native poignancy. A jest, calculated to spread at a gaming-table, may be received with, perfect indifference should it happen to drop in a mackerel-boat.

Oliver Goldsmith 542 quotes

Life at the greatest and best ...

Life at the greatest and best is but a froward child, that must be humored and coaxed a little till it falls asleep, and then all the care is over.

Oliver Goldsmith 542 quotes

Truth from his lips prevailed ...

Truth from his lips prevailed with double sway, and fools, who came to scoff, remained to pray.

The genteel thing is the genteel thing any time, if as be that a gentleman bees in a concatenation accordingly.

With disadvantages enough to bring him to humility, a Scotsman is one of the proudest things alive.

As ten millions of circles can never make a square, so the united voice of myriads cannot lend the smallest foundation to falsehood.

Wealth accumulates, and men decay.

Wept o'er his wounds, or tales of sorrow done, Shoulder'd his crutch, and shew'd how fields were won.

Oliver Goldsmith 542 quotes

What cities, as great as this,...

What cities, as great as this, have . . . promised themselves immortality! Posterity can hardly trace the situation of some. The sorrowful traveller wanders over the awful ruins of others. . . . Here stood their citadel, but now grown over with weeds; there their senate-house, but now the haunt of every noxious reptile; temples and theatres stood here, now only an undistinguished heap of ruins.

Oliver Goldsmith 542 quotes

As some tall cliff that lifts ...

As some tall cliff that lifts its awful form, Swells from the vale, and midway leaves the storm,- Though round its breast the rolling clouds are spread, Eternal sunshine settles on its head.

Don't let us make imaginary evils, when you know we have so many real ones to encounter.

Death when unmasked shows us a friendly face and is a terror only at a distance.

Oliver Goldsmith 542 quotes

There is a greatness in being ...

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.

The best way to make your audience laugh is to start laughing yourself.

The malicious sneer is improperly called laughter.
