3 Oliver Goldsmith Quotes on Hope

Oliver Goldsmith quotes on hope

13. To the last moment of his breath On hope the wretch relies; And e'en the pang preceding death Bids expectation rise.

14. Hope, like the gleaming taper's light, Adorns and cheers our way; And still, as darker grows the night, Emits a brighter ray.

54. Bends to the grave with unperceived decay, While resignation gently slopes the way; And, all his prospects brightening to the last, His heaven commences ere the world be past.
