More From Oliver Goldsmith

Works of imagination excel by their allurement and delight; by their power of attracting and detaining the attention. that book is good in vain which the reader throws away. he only is the master who keeps the mind in pleasing captivity; whose pages are perused with eagerness, and in hope of new pleasure are perused again; and whose conclusion is perceived with an eye of sorrow, such as the traveller casts upon departing day.

Whoever invented the meeting must have had hollywood in mind. i think they should consider giving oscars for meetings: best meeting of the year, best supporting meeting, best meeting based on material from another meeting.

I doubt if i shall ever have time to read the book again -- there are too many new ones coming out all the time which i want to read. yet an old book has something for me which no new book can ever have -- for at every reading the memories and atmosphere of other readings come back and i am reading old years as well as an old book.
Memories Book Reading
When suddenly you seem to lose all you thought you had gained, do not despair. you must expect setbacks and regressions. don't say to yourself "all is lost. i have to start all over again." this is not true. what you have gained you have gained....when you return to the the road, you return to the place where you left it, not to where you started.
Despair Regression Return
A friend is more than a therapist or confessor, even though a friend can sometimes heal us and offer us god's forgiveness. a friend is that other person with whom we can share our solitude, our silence, and our prayer. a friend is that other person with whom we can look at a tree and say, "isn't that beautiful," or sit on the beach and silently watch the sun disappear under the horizon. with a friend we don't have to say or do something special. with a friend we can be still and know that god is there with both of us.

This most beautiful system of the sun, planets and comets could only proceed from the counsel and dominion of an intelligent and powerful being. and if the fixed stars are the centres of other like systems, these, being formed by the like wise counsel, must be all subject to the dominion of one; especially since the light of the fixed stars is of the same nature with the light of the sun.
