Each man lived his own life and paid his own price for living it. The only pity was one had to pay so often for a single fault. One had to pay over and over again, indeed. In her dealings with man, Destiny never closed her accounts.

More quotes by Oscar Wilde
The worst thing to do with success, is to boast about it.
Oscar Wilde
It is only by not paying one's bills that one can hope to live in the memory of the commercial classes.
Oscar Wilde
Sin is a thing that writes itself across a man's face. It cannot be concealed. People talk sometimes of secret vices, there are no such things. If a wretched man has a vice, it shows itself in the lines of his mouth, the droop of his eyelids, the moulding of his hands even.
Oscar Wilde
Men know life too early. Women know life too late. That is the difference between men and women.
Oscar Wilde
Extravagance is the luxury of the poor penury is the luxury of the rich.
Oscar Wilde
Women love us for our defects. If we have enough of them, they will forgive us everything, even our gigantic intellects.
Oscar Wilde
A little sincerity is a dangerous thing, and a great deal of it is absolutely fatal.
Oscar Wilde
A truth ceases to be true when more than one person believes in it.
Oscar Wilde
Disobedience, in the eyes of any one who has read history, is man's original virtue. It is through disobedience that progress has been made, through disobedience and through rebellion.
Oscar Wilde
God's eternal laws are kind-and break the heart of stone.
Oscar Wilde
I would not a bit mind sleeping in the cool grass in summer, and when winter came on sheltering myself by the warm close-thatched rick, or under the penthouse of a great barn, provided I had love in my heart.
Oscar Wilde
Never love anyone who treats you like you're ordinary.
Oscar Wilde
I know not whether Laws be right, Or whether Laws be wrong All that we know who be in jail Is that the wall is strong And that each day is like a year, A year whose days are long.
Oscar Wilde
Man is a rational animal who always loses his temper when he is called upon to act in accordance with the dictates of reason.
Oscar Wilde
It is personalities not principles that move the age.
Oscar Wilde
An artist should create beautiful things, but should put nothing of his own life into them.
Oscar Wilde
The moment that an artist takes notice of what other people want, and tries to supply the demand, he ceases to be an artist.
Oscar Wilde
History is only gossip.
Oscar Wilde
It is a much cleverer thing to talk nonsense than to listen to it.
Oscar Wilde
Don't feed the trolls nothing fuels them so much.
Oscar Wilde
