The well bred contradict other people. The wise contradict themselves.
Oscar Wilde
Image
To lose one parent may be regarded as a misfortune to lose both looks like carelessness.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Good resolutions are simply checks that men draw on a bank where they have no account.
Oscar Wilde
Image
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
Image
It is in the brain, and the brain only, that the great sins of the world take place also.

Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
Image
The optimist sees the donut, the pessimist sees the hole.
Oscar Wilde
Image

Oscar Wilde
Image
I summed up all systems in a phrase, and all existence in an epigram.
Oscar Wilde
Image
A pessimist is somebody who complains about the noise when opportunity knocks.

We live, I regret to say, in an age of Big Data hype.
Oscar Wilde
Image
If one tells the truth, one is sure, sooner or later, to be found out.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Taking sides is the beginning of sincerity, and earnestness follows shortly afterwards, and the human being becomes a bore.
Oscar Wilde
Image
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
