Additional quotes by Oliver Goldsmith

A nightcap decked his brows instead of bay,
A cap by night — a stocking all the day!

Baw! Damme, but I'll fight you both, one after the other!
With baskets.

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

They please, are pleased, they give to get esteem, Till, seeming blest, they grow to what they seem. - Oliver Goldsmith
