Additional quotes by Oliver Goldsmith

I was ever of the opinion that the honest man who married and brought up a large family, did more service than he who continued single, and only talked of population.

Man seems the only growth that dwindles here.

For he who fights and runs away
May live to fight another day;
But he who is in battle slain
Can never rise and fight again.
