More quotes by Oscar Wilde
Life is too short to learn German
Oscar Wilde
The burden of this world is too great for one man to bear, and the world’s sorrow too heavy for one heart to suffer.
Oscar Wilde
There is no such thing as a heterosexual male, only men who haven't met Oscar Wilde yet.
Oscar Wilde
Don't be discouraged if your children reject your advice. Years later they will offer it to their own offspring.
Oscar Wilde
Be yourself everyone else is taken.
Oscar Wilde
Many of the great achievements of the world were accomplished by tired and discouraged men who kept on working.
Oscar Wilde
Well, I don't like your clothes. You look perfectly ridiculous in them. Why on earth don't you go up and change? It's perfectly childish to be in mourning for a man who is actually staying a whole week with you in your house as a guest. I call it grotesque.
Oscar Wilde
Most men and women are forced to perform parts for which they have no qualification.
Oscar Wilde
The job of the critic is to report to us his moods.
Oscar Wilde
Cleverness becomes a public nuisance.
Oscar Wilde
Do not be afraid of the past. If people tell you that it is irrevocable, do not believe them. The past, the present and the future are but one moment in the sight of God, in whose sight we should try to live. Time and space, succession and extension, are merely accidental conditions of thought. The imagination can transcend them.
Oscar Wilde
This suspense is terrible. I hope it will last.
Oscar Wilde
To toil for a hard master is bitter, but to have no master to toil for is more bitter still.
Oscar Wilde
I won't belong to a club that accepts me as a member
Oscar Wilde
After the first glass, you see things as you wish they were. After the second, you see things as they are not. Finally, you see things as they really are, and that is the most horrible thing in the world.
Oscar Wilde
I don’t write this letter to put bitterness into your heart, but to pluck it out of mine. For my own sake I must forgive you.
Oscar Wilde
Nowadays to be intelligible is to be found out.
Oscar Wilde
The systems that fail are those that rely on the permanency of human nature, and not its growth and development.
Oscar Wilde
In war, the strong make slaves of the weak, and in peace the rich makes slaves of the poor.
Oscar Wilde
Plain women are always jealous of their husbands. Beautiful women never are. They are always so occupied with being jealous of other women's husbands.
Oscar Wilde
