More quotes by Oscar Wilde
Art only begins where Imitation ends.
Oscar Wilde
The Ideal Man should talk to us as if we were goddesses, and treat us as if we were children. He should refuse all our serious requests, and gratify every one of our whims. He should encourage us to have caprices, and forbid us to have missions. He should always say much more than he means, and always mean much more than he says.
Oscar Wilde
When liberty comes with hands dabbled in blood it is hard to shake hands with her.
Oscar Wilde
What seems to us as bitter trials are often blessings in disguise for which we are later, in the fullness of time and understanding, very grateful for!
Oscar Wilde
When we are happy, we are always good, but when we are good, we are not always happy.

Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
Hatred is blind, as well as love.
Oscar Wilde
The study of law is sublime, and its practice vulgar.
Oscar Wilde
It is a dangerous thing to reform anyone.
Oscar Wilde
In England people actually try to be brilliant at breakfast. That is so dreadful of them! Only dull people are brilliant at breakfast.
Oscar Wilde
The worst thing to do with success, is to boast about it.
Oscar Wilde
Every one of course represents the spirit of his age, but there is an eternal aspect of the Spirit of every age which may be caught. To recreate the past from the mutilated fragments of the present is the task of the Historian.
Oscar Wilde
Progress in thought is the assertion of individualism against authority.
Oscar Wilde
