- Oliver Goldsmith was born on November 10, 1730 in Pallas, County Longford, Ireland. He was a writer, known for The Vicar of Wakefield (1917), The Vicar of Wakefield (1913) and The Vicar of Wakefield (1913). He died on April 4, 1774 in London, England, UK.
- Before turning to writing, he held many positions, including that of a physician in Southwark, England.
- A book may be amusing with numerous errors, or it may be very dull without a single absurdity.
- 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.
- Conscience is a coward, and those faults it has not strength enough to prevent, it seldom has justice enough to accuse.
- Hope, like the gleaming taper's light, adorns and cheers our way; and still, as darkness grows the night, emits a lighter ray.
- Sincerity--a silent address.
