Additional quotes by Oliver Goldsmith

For just experience tells; in every soil,
That those that think must govern those that toil.

The canvas glow'd beyond ev'n Nature warm,
The pregnant quarry teem'd with human form.

The watchdog's voice that bayed the whispering wind,
And the loud laugh that spoke the vacant mind.

A modest woman, dressed out in all her finery, is the most tremendous object of the whole creation. - Oliver Goldsmith
