More quotes by Oscar Wilde
A man who is master of himself can end a sorrow as easily as he can invent a pleasure.
Oscar Wilde
He hasn't an enemy in the world, and none of his friend like him.
Oscar Wilde
But then one regrets the loss even of one's worst habits. Perhaps one regrets them the most. They are such an essential part of one's personality.
Oscar Wilde
The work of art is to dominate the spectator: the spectator is not to dominate the work of art.
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
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
Women are made to be loved, not understood.
Oscar Wilde
Every prison that men build Is built with bricks of shame, And bound with bars lest Christ should see How men their brothers maim.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
Each of us has heaven and hell in him.
Oscar Wilde
A man can be happy with any woman, as long as he does not love her.
Oscar Wilde
Be moderate in all things, including moderation.
Oscar Wilde
Things are because we see them, and what we see, and how we see it, depends on the Arts that influenced us. To look at a thing is very different from seeing a thing. One does not see anything until one sees its beauty. Then, and then only, does it comes into existence.
Oscar Wilde
It is curious how vanity helps the successful man and wrecks the failure.
Oscar Wilde
A subject that is beautiful in itself gives no suggestion to the artist. It lacks imperfection.
Oscar Wilde
Do not forget that small daily actions do or undo character.
Oscar Wilde
He hadn’t a single redeeming vice.
Oscar Wilde
I am Irish by race but the English have condemned me to talk the language of Shakespeare.
Oscar Wilde
Even before I met you I was far from indifferent to you.
Oscar Wilde
We think that we are generous because we credit our neighbor with those virtues that are likely to benefit ourselves. We praise the banker that we may overdraw our account, and find good qualities in the highwayman in the hope that he may spare our pockets.
Oscar Wilde
