Oscar Wilde
Each little thing that we do passes into the great machine of life which may grind our virtues to powder and make them worthless, or transform our sins into elements of a new civilization, more marvelous and more splendid than any that has gone before.
Oscar Wilde
If one were to live his life fully and completely were to give form to every feeling, expression to every thought, reality to every dream.

Oscar Wilde
The condition of perfection is idleness: the aim of perfection is youth.
Oscar Wilde
The key to making up Oscar Wilde quotes is to add '~ Oscar Wilde' at the end.
Oscar Wilde
The Lord's Prayer is 66 words, the Gettysburg Address is 286 words, there are 1.322 words in the Declaration of Independence, but government regulations on the sale of cabbage total 26.911 words. The difference between literature and journalism is that journalism is unreadable and literature is not read.
Oscar Wilde
If people were meant to be nude, they would have been born this way.
Oscar Wilde
If the poor only had profiles there would be no difficulty in solving the problem of poverty
Oscar Wilde
The soul is a terrible reality. It can be bought and sold and bartered away.
Oscar Wilde
Oh! it is absurd to have a hard-and-fast rule about what one should read and what one shouldn't. More than half of modern culture depends on what one shouldn't read.
Oscar Wilde
