In America, an inventor is honoured, help is forthcoming, and the exercise of ingenuity, the application of science to the work of man, is there the shortest road to wealth.
Oscar Wilde
Arguments are extremely vulgar, for everybody in good society holds exactly the same opinions.
Oscar Wilde
The only excuse for making a useless thing is that one admires it intensely. All art is quite useless.
Oscar Wilde
It is awfully hard work doing nothing.
