He who fights and runs away May live to fight another day.

Oliver Goldsmith
Running, Fighting, May
Oliver Goldsmith (1900*). “The Works of Oliver Goldsmith: The life of Oliver Goldsmith”

There is one way by which a strolling player may be ever secure of success; that is, in our theatrical way of expressing it, to make a great deal of the character. To speak and act as in common life is not playing, nor is it what people come to see; natural speaking, like sweet wine, runs glibly over the palate and scarcely leaves any taste behind it; but being high in a part resembles vinegar, which grates upon the taste, and one feels it while he is drinking.

Oliver Goldsmith
Running, Sweet, Drinking
Oliver Goldsmith (1854). “The Works of Oliver Goldsmith: The bee. Essays. Unacknowledged essays. Prefaces, introductions, etc”, p.233

To aim at excellence, our reputation, and friends, and all must be ventured; to aim at the average we run no risk and provide little service.

Oliver Goldsmith
Running, Average, Risk
