More quotes by Oscar Wilde
The only things one never regrets are one's mistakes.
Oscar Wilde
Seriousness is the only refuge of the shallow.
Oscar Wilde
If there was less sympathy in the world, there would be less trouble in the world.
Oscar Wilde
Success is a science if you have the conditions, you get the result.
Oscar Wilde
The typewriting machine, when played with expression, is no more annoying than the piano when played by a sister or near relation.
Oscar Wilde
If you cannot write well, you cannot think well if you cannot think well, others will do your thinking for you.
Oscar Wilde
A red rose is not selfish because it wants to be a red rose. It would be horribly selfish if it wanted all the other flowers in the garden to be both red and roses.
Oscar Wilde
I have never admitted that I am more than twenty-nine, or thirty at the most. Twenty-nine when there are pink shades, thirty when there are not.
Oscar Wilde
The weather still continues charming.
Oscar Wilde
Only mediocrities progress. An artist revolves in a cycle of masterpieces, the first of which is no less perfect than the last.
Oscar Wilde
A great poet, a really great poet, is the most unpoetical of all creatures. But inferior poets are absolutely fascinating.
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
Friendship is far more tragic than love. It lasts longer.
Oscar Wilde
Football is all very well as a game for rough girls, but is hardly suitable for delicate boys.
Oscar Wilde
You are young. No hungry generations tread you down. The past does not mock you with the ruins of a beauty the secret of whose creation you have lost
Oscar Wilde
There are many things that we would throw away if we were not afraid that others might pick them up.
Oscar Wilde
Irony is wasted on the stupid
Oscar Wilde
But what world says that [I'm wicked]? It can only be the next world. This world and I are on excellent terms.
Oscar Wilde
Wickedness is a myth invented by good people to account for the curious attractiveness of others.
Oscar Wilde
The nineteenth century is a turning point in history, simply on account of the work of two men, Darwin and Renan, the one the critic of the Book of Nature, the other the critic of the books of God. Not to recognise this is to miss the meaning of one of the most important eras in the progress of the world.
Oscar Wilde
