Oxymoron:

1: O miserable abundance, O  beggarly riches!

Paradoxes:

2: What a pity that youth must be wasted on the young.

3: I can resist anything but temptation.

4: How is it possible to have a  civil war?

What is an oxymoron?

It is a figure of speech in which two seemingly incompatible terms are used together.

e.g Fully empty, living death, O loving hate.

Only "O miserable abundance, O beggarly riches!" fits the definition of an oxymoron, according to this definition.

What are paradoxes?

It is akin to an oxymoron, except it usually involves a series of logically incongruous claims that, depending on the circumstances, may or may not be true.

e.g "Everything I say is a lie", Barber  "A male barber only shaves the males who don't shave. Everything I say is a lie. Does he shave?"

As we can see, there are just assertions that might contradict one another rather than phrases or words that are contradictory.
