More quotes by Oscar Wilde
Education is very admirable but let us not forget that anything worth knowing cannot be taught.
Oscar Wilde
There are few things easier than to live badly and die well.
Oscar Wilde
I love scrapes. They are the only things that are never serious. Oh, that's nonsense, Algy. You never talk anything but nonsense. Nobody ever does.
Oscar Wilde
Youth is the only thing worth having. When I find that I am growing old, I shall kill myself.
Oscar Wilde
I made your sorrow mine also, that you might have help in bearing it.
Oscar Wilde
A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight.
Oscar Wilde
He who stands most remote from his age is he who mirrors it best.
Oscar Wilde
Every woman is wrong until she cries.
Oscar Wilde
The chin a little higher, dear. Style largely depends on the way the chin is worn. They are worn very high, just at present.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
The best way to make children good is to make them happy.
Oscar Wilde
How can a woman be expected to be happy with a man who insists on treating her as if she were a perfectly normal human being.
Oscar Wilde
When a woman marries again, it is because she detested her first husband. When a man marries again, it is because he adored his first wife. Women try their luck men risk theirs.
Oscar Wilde
Selfishness is not living your life as you wish to live it. Selfishness is wanting others to live their lives as you wish them to.
Oscar Wilde
If a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing well. If it is worth having, it is worth waiting for. If it is worth attaining, it is worth fighting for. If it is worth experiencing, it is worth putting aside time for.
Oscar Wilde
The supreme object of life is to live. Few people live. It is true life only to realize one's own perfection, to make one's every dream a reality.
Oscar Wilde
Circumstances should never alter principles!
Oscar Wilde
Arguments are extremely vulgar, for everybody in good society holds exactly the same opinions.
Oscar Wilde
It is a dangerous thing to reform anyone.
Oscar Wilde
The simplicity of your character makes you exquisitely incomprehensible to me.
Oscar Wilde
