More quotes by Oscar Wilde
Everybody who is incapable of learning has taken to teaching.
Oscar Wilde
No gentleman ever has any money.
Oscar Wilde
Self-denial is the shining sore on the leprous body of Christianity.
Oscar Wilde
We teach people how to remember, we never teach them how to grow.
Oscar Wilde
I really don't see anything romantic in proposing. It is very romantic to be in love. But there is nothing romantic about a definite proposal. Why, one may be accepted. One usually is, I believe. Then the excitement is all over. The very essence of romance is uncertainty. If ever I get married, I'll certainly try to forget the fact.
Oscar Wilde
Just because a man has died for it, does not make it true.
Oscar Wilde
The world seemed to me fine because you were in it, and goodness more real because you lived.
Oscar Wilde
What a silly thing love is! It is not half as useful as logic, for it does not prove anything and it is always telling one things that are not going to happen, and making one believe things that are not true.
Oscar Wilde
The difference between literature and journalism is that journalism is unreadable and literature is not read.
Oscar Wilde
The weather still continues charming.
Oscar Wilde
Don't be afraid. There are exquisite things in store for you. This is merely the beginning.
Oscar Wilde
Every woman is a rebel, and usually in wild revolt against herself.
Oscar Wilde
We Irish will never achieve anything but we are the greatest talkers since the Greeks
Oscar Wilde
I refuse to have a battle of wits with an unarmed man.
Oscar Wilde
They've promised that dreams can come true - but forgot to mention that nightmares are dreams, too.
Oscar Wilde
Pray don't talk to me about the weather, Mr. Worthing. Whenever people talk to me about the weather, I always feel quite certain that they mean something else. And that makes me quite nervous.
Oscar Wilde
Life under a good government is rarely dramatic life under a bad government is always so.
Oscar Wilde
Rich bachelors should be heavily taxed. It is not fair that some men should be happier than others.
Oscar Wilde
What seems to us as bitter trials are often blessings in disguise for which we are later, in the fullness of time and understanding, very grateful for!
Oscar Wilde
I have grown to love secrecy. It seems to be the one thing that can make modern life mysterious or marvelous to us. The commonest thing is delightful if only one hides it.
Oscar Wilde
