Oliver Goldsmith Quotes:
Ocupation: Novelist
Life: November 10, 1730 - April 4, 1774
Birthday: November 10
Death: April 4
At night returning, every labour sped, He sits him down, the monarch of a shed; Smiles by his cheerful fire, and round surveys His children's looks, that brighten at the blaze; While his lov'd partner, boastful of her hoard, Displays her cleanly platter on the board.
