More quotes by Oscar Wilde
Youth is the only thing worth having.
Oscar Wilde
Fathers should be neither seen nor heard. That is the only proper basis for family life.
Oscar Wilde
When a man is old enough to do wrong he should be old enough to do right also.
Oscar Wilde
I never read a book I must review it prejudices you so.
Oscar Wilde
When a love comes to an end, weaklings cry, efficient ones instantly find another love, and the wise already have one in reserve.
Oscar Wilde
Children begin by loving their parents after a time they judge them rarely, if ever, do they forgive them.
Oscar Wilde
Love is fed by the imagination, by which we become wiser than we know, better than we feel, nobler than we are: by which we can see life as a whole, by which and by which alone we can understand others in their real and their ideal relation. Only what is fine, and finely conceived can feed love. But anything will feed hate.
Oscar Wilde
To lose one parent may be regarded as a misfortune to lose both looks like carelessness.
Oscar Wilde
Every one is worthy of love, except him who thinks that he is. Love is a sacrament that should be taken kneeling.
Oscar Wilde
There is no necessity to separate the monarch from the mob all authority is equally bad.
Oscar Wilde
I have always been of opinion that a man who desires to get married should know either everything or nothing.
Oscar Wilde
Good resolutions are simply checks that men draw on a bank where they have no account.
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
One should not be too severe on English novels they are the only relaxation of the intellectually unemployed.
Oscar Wilde
Plain women are always jealous of their husbands. Beautiful women never are. They are always so occupied with being jealous of other women's husbands.
Oscar Wilde
Every prison that men build Is built with bricks of shame, And bound with bars lest Christ should see How men their brothers maim.
Oscar Wilde
Biography lends to death a new terror.
Oscar Wilde
The only one you need in your life is that person who shows you he needs you in his.
Oscar Wilde
An artist should create beautiful things, but should put nothing of his own life into them. We live in an age when men treat art as if it were meant to be a form of autobiography. We have lost the abstract sense of beauty.
Oscar Wilde
Finding the meaning of life is easy. Simply get a dictionary, go to the 'L' section, and find the word 'life.'
Oscar Wilde
