I see when men love women. They give them but a little of their lives. But women when they love give everything.
Oscar Wilde

Life under a good government is rarely dramatic life under a bad government is always so.
Oscar Wilde
Image
What seems to us as bitter trials are often blessings in disguise [in the future. But only if we set out to make this true and anticipate it so we look for the blessings until we find them].
