Quote du jour/Oliver Goldsmith

This month's quote from the Irish Writers Calendar

comes from Oliver Goldsmith.

"I love everything that is old; old friends, old times, old manners, old books, old wines."

It seemed this quote was everywhere a few years ago. I might have first read it in a Susan Branch book. Goldsmith is the second oldest writer on the calendar, and it is interesting how his words still resonate with us all these years later.
