Oscar Wilde
Lord Illingworth told me this morning that there was an orchid there as beautiful as the seven deadly sins.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
The secret to life is to enjoy the pleasure of being terribly, terribly deceived.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
Charity creates a multitude of sins.
Oscar Wilde
If God wished to punish us, all he would need to do would be to answer our prayers.
Oscar Wilde
Dammit Sir, it's your duty to get married. You can't always be living for pleasure!
Oscar Wilde
The one advantage of playing with fire...is that no one ever gets singed. It is the people who don't know how to play with it who get burned up.
Oscar Wilde
Philosophy is like a normal personal organizer, but it's smaller than a matchbox.
Oscar Wilde
I never put off till tomorrow what I can do the day after.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
People seldom tell the truths that are worth telling. We ought to choose our truths as carefully as we choose our lies and to select our virtues with as much thought as we bestow upon the selection of our enemies.
Oscar Wilde
I know not whether Laws be right, Or whether Laws be wrong All that we know who be in jail Is that the wall is strong And that each day is like a year, A year whose days are long.
Oscar Wilde
