Oliver Goldsmith quotes on life

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

38. The naked every day he clad When he put on his clothes.

64. The whitewashed wall, the nicely sanded floor, The varnished clock that clicked behind the door; The chest contrived a double debt to pay, A bed by night, a chest of drawers by day.
