Additional quotes by Oliver Goldsmith

Careless their merits or their faults to scan,
His pity gave ere charity began.
Thus to relieve the wretched was his pride,
And e'en his failings leaned to Virtue's side.

A flattering painter, who made it his care
To draw men as they ought to be, not as they are.

Luke's iron crown, and Damien's bed of steel.
