Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
A mask tells us more than a face.
Oscar Wilde
Authority is quite degrading.
Oscar Wilde
The world has been made by fools that wise men may live in it.
Oscar Wilde
I have always been of opinion that a man who desires to get married should know either everything or nothing.
Oscar Wilde
Men of thoughts should have nothing to do with action.
Oscar Wilde
Extravagance is the luxury of the poor penury is the luxury of the rich.
Oscar Wilde
