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.

Success consists of getting up just one more time than you fall.

I love everything that's old, - old friends, old times, old manners, old books, old wine.

Pity and friendship are two passions incompatible with each other.

Friendship is a disinterested commerce between equals; love, an abject intercourse between tyrants and slaves.

Life is a journey that must be traveled no matter how bad the roads and accommodations.

You can preach a better sermon with your life than with your lips.
