More quotes by Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
Philosophy teaches us to bear with equanimity the misfortunes of others.

Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
Just as the worst slave-owners were those who were kind to their slaves, and so prevented the horror of the system being realized by those who suffered from it, and understood by those who contemplated it, so, in the present state of things in England, the people who do most harm are the people who try to do most good.
Oscar Wilde
But what world says that [I'm wicked]? It can only be the next world. This world and I are on excellent terms.
Oscar Wilde
True contentment is not having everything, but in being satisfied with everything you have.
Oscar Wilde
A work of art is the unique result of a unique temperament.
Oscar Wilde
What is termed Sin is an essential element of progress. Without it the world would stagnate, or grow old, or become colourless.
Oscar Wilde
At every single moment of one's life one is what one is going to be no less than what one has been.
Oscar Wilde
I love hearing my relations abused. It is the only thing that makes me put up with them at all. Relations are simply a tedious pack of people, who haven't got the remotest knowledge of how to live nor the smallest instinct about when to die.
Oscar Wilde
M. Zola is determined to show that, if he has not got genius, he can at least be dull.
Oscar Wilde
A man can't be too careful in the choice of his enemies.
Oscar Wilde
Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one's head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no tomorrow. To forget time, to forgive life, to be at peace.
Oscar Wilde
The only way to get rid of tempation is to yeild to it.
Oscar Wilde
