Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
It is always a silly thing to give advice, but to give good advice is absolutely fatal.
Oscar Wilde
In England people actually try to be brilliant at breakfast. That is so dreadful of them! Only dull people are brilliant at breakfast.
Oscar Wilde
It is only shallow people who require years to get rid of an emotion. A man who is master of himself can end a sorrow as easily as he can invent a pleasure. I don't want to be at the mercy of my emotions. I want to use them, to enjoy them, and to dominate them.
Oscar Wilde
Only the unimaginative can fail to find a reason for drinking Champagne
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
The systems that fail are those that rely on the permanency of human nature, and not its growth and development.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
Dammit Sir, it's your duty to get married. You can't always be living for pleasure!
Oscar Wilde
He watched it with that strange interest in trivial things that we try to develop when things of high import make us afraid, or when we are stirred by some new emotion for which we cannot find expression.
Oscar Wilde
I must say... that I ruined myself: and that nobody, great or small, can be ruined except by his own hand.
Oscar Wilde
I never put off till tomorrow what I can do the day after.
Oscar Wilde
Like all people who try to exhaust a subject, he exhausted his listeners.
Oscar Wilde
An actor is part illusionist, part artist, part ham.
Oscar Wilde
