More quotes by Oscar Wilde
The only thing that ever consoles man for the stupid things he does is the praise he always gives himself for doing them.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde

In a temple everything should be serious except the thing that is being worshiped.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
Always! That is the dreadful word ... it is a meaningless word, too.
Oscar Wilde
There is a fatality about good resolutions – that they are always made too late
Oscar Wilde
Prayer must never be answered: if it is, it ceases to be prayer and becomes correspondence.
Oscar Wilde
Everyone should keep someone else's diary.
Oscar Wilde
