The rich man's joys encrease, the poor's decay,
'Tis yours to judge, how wide the limits stand
Between a splendid and a happy land.”
― Oliver Goldsmith, The Deserted Village

“The country blooms—a garden, and a grave.”

“Blest that abode, where want and pain repair,
And every stranger finds a ready chair;”
― Oliver Goldsmith, The Deserted Village
