Fear guides more to their dut...

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

Thou source of all my bliss and all my woe, That found'st me poor at first, and keep'st me so.

Oliver Goldsmith 542 quotes

Though very poor, may still be very blest.

Oliver Goldsmith 542 quotes

But me, not destined such del...

But me, not destined such delights to share, My prime of life in wandering spent and care; Impell'd, with steps unceasing, to pursue Some fleeting good, that mocks me with the view That, like the circle bounding earth and skies, Allures from far, yet, as I follow, flies; My fortune leads to traverse reams alone, And find no spot of all the world my own.

Oliver Goldsmith 542 quotes

One writer, for instance, exc...

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.

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.

Oliver Goldsmith 542 quotes

Amid thy desert-walks the lapwing flies, And tires their echoes with unvaried cries.

The folly of others is ever most ridiculous to those who are themselves most foolish.

In a polite age almost every person becomes a reader, and receives more instruction from the Press than the Pulpit.

In proportion as society refines, new books must ever become more necessary.

Oliver Goldsmith 542 quotes

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

Oliver Goldsmith 542 quotes

Thus let me hold thee to my heart,
And every care resign:
And we shall never, never part,
My life-my all that's mine!

Oliver Goldsmith 542 quotes

To the last moment of his breath, On hope the wretch relies; And even the pang preceding death Bids expectation rise.

Oliver Goldsmith 542 quotes

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.

Oliver Goldsmith 542 quotes

The volumes of antiquity, like medals, may very well serve to amuse the curious, but the works of the moderns, like the current coin of a kingdom, are much better for immediate use.

Oliver Goldsmith 542 quotes

For praise too dearly lov'd, ...

For praise too dearly lov'd, or warmly sought, Enfeebles all internal strength of thought; And the weak soul within itself unblest, Leans for all pleasure on another's breast.

Oliver Goldsmith 542 quotes

To aim at excellence, our rep...

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

I learn several great truths;...

I learn several great truths; as that it is impossible to see into the ways of futurity, that punishment always attends the villain, that love is the fond soother of the human breast.

Oliver Goldsmith 542 quotes

I hate the French because the...

I hate the French because they are all slaves and wear wooden shoes.
