Additional quotes by Oliver Goldsmith

Handsome is that handsome does.

Certainly, in two opposite opinions, if one be perfectly reasonable, the other can't be perfectly right.

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.

Where wealth and freedom reign contentment fails, And honor sinks where commerce long prevails. - Oliver Goldsmith
