Additional quotes by Oliver Goldsmith

There is no arguing with Johnson: for if his pistol misses fire, he knocks you down with the butt end of it.

Measures, not men, have always been my mark.

To the last moment of his breath
On hope the wretch relies;
And e'en the pang preceding death
Bids expectation rise.

And, ev'n while fashion's brightest arts decoy, The heart distrusting asks, if this be joy. - Oliver Goldsmith
