If frugality were established in the state, if our expenses were laid out rather in the necessaries than the superfluities of life, there might be fewer wants, and even fewer pleasures, but infinitely more happiness.
Quotes by Oliver Goldsmith
Friendship is a disinterested commerce between equals; love, an abject intercourse between tyrants and slaves."
He who seeks for applause only from without has all his happiness in another's keeping.
Wept o'er his wounds, or tales of sorrow done, Shoulder'd his crutch, and shew'd how fields were won.
I do not love a man who is zealous for nothing.
How blest is he who crowns in shades like these A youth of labour with an age of ease!
Don't let us make imaginary evils, when you know we have so many real ones to encounter.
Creation's heir, the world, the world is mine!
As a wit, if not first, in the very first line.
But winter lingering chills the lap of May.
