Additional quotes by Oliver Goldsmith

Alike all ages. Dames of ancient days
Have led their children through the mirthful maze,
And the gay grandsire, skill'd in gestic lore,
Has frisk'd beneath the burden of threescore.

Careless their merits or their faults to scan,
His pity gave ere charity began.
Thus to relieve the wretched was his pride,
And e'en his failings leaned to Virtue's side.

As a wit, if not first, in the very first line.

Vain, very vain, my weary search to find That bliss which only centers in the mind. - Oliver Goldsmith
