Oscar Wilde
Image

Oscar Wilde
Image
There is only one class in the community that thinks more about money than the rich, and that is the poor. The poor can think of nothing else.
Oscar Wilde
Image
I always pass on good advice. It is the only thing to do with it. It is never of any use to oneself.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Life is too short to be in a hurry.
Oscar Wilde
Image
I have said to you to speak the truth is a painful thing. To be forced to tell lies is much worse.
Oscar Wilde
Image
The only possible form of exercise is to talk, not to walk.
Oscar Wilde
Image
The one person who has more illusions than the dreamer is the man of action.
Oscar Wilde
Image
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
