More quotes by Oliver Goldsmith
This same philosophy is a good horse in the stable, but an arrant jade on a journey.
The nakedness of the indigent world may be clothed from the trimmings of the vain.
You may also like
Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
