More quotes by Oscar Wilde
One has a right to judge a man by the effect he has over his friends.
Oscar Wilde
Youth! There is nothing like youth. The middle-aged are mortgaged to Life. The old are in Life's lumber-room. But youth is the Lord of Life. Youth has a kingdom waiting for it. Every one is born a king, and most people die in exile.
Oscar Wilde
The best way to make children good is to make them happy.
Oscar Wilde
In England, an inventor is regarded almost as a crazy man, and in too many instances invention ends in disappointment and poverty. 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
Perhaps, after all, America never has been discovered. I myself would say that it had merely been detected.
Oscar Wilde
The only excuse for making a useless thing is that one admires it intensely. All art is quite useless.
Oscar Wilde
The only way to get rid of tempation is to yeild to it.
Oscar Wilde
They've promised that dreams can come true - but forgot to mention that nightmares are dreams, too.
Oscar Wilde
They get up early, because they have so much to do, and go to bed early, because they have so little to think about.
Oscar Wilde
It is better to repent a sin than regret the loss of a pleasure.
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
The artist is the creator of beautiful things. To reveal art and conceal the artist is art's aim. The critic is he who can translate into another manner or a new material his impression of beautiful things.
Oscar Wilde
It is awfully hard work doing nothing.
Oscar Wilde
As one reads history ... one is absolutely sickened, not by the crimes that the wicked have committed, but by the punishments that the good have inflicted.
Oscar Wilde
If it is not nailed to the floor, it's mine. If I can pry it loose, it is not nailed down.
Oscar Wilde
A man who moralizes is a hypocrite, and a woman who does so is invariably plain.
Oscar Wilde
Men of thoughts should have nothing to do with action.
Oscar Wilde
Diversity of opinion about a work of art shows that the work is new, complex, and vital.
Oscar Wilde
The wild Bee reels from bough to bough With his furry coat and his gauzy wing, Now in a lily cup, and now Setting a jacinth bell a-swing, In his wandering.
Oscar Wilde
Nothing worth knowing can be taught.
Oscar Wilde
