More quotes by Oscar Wilde
If a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing well. If it is worth having, it is worth waiting for. If it is worth attaining, it is worth fighting for. If it is worth experiencing, it is worth putting aside time for.
Oscar Wilde
When one is in town one amuses oneself. When one is in the country one amuses other people. It is excessively boring.
Oscar Wilde
Be yourself everyone else is taken.
Oscar Wilde
There are times when sorrow seems to me to be the only truth.
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
What the hell is an oboe?
Oscar Wilde
It is perfectly possible to get what you think you want and be miserable. It's possible too, to never get it but deeply enjoy the process of trying. In this world, there are only two tragedies. One is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it.
Oscar Wilde
When a man has once loved a woman he will do anything for her except continue to love her.
Oscar Wilde
The supreme vice is shallowness.
Oscar Wilde
It is absurd to divide people into good and bad. People are either charming or tedious.
Oscar Wilde
we always misunderstood ourselves, and rarely understood others
Oscar Wilde
I knew nothing but shadows and I thought them to be real.
Oscar Wilde
I live constantly in the fear of not being misunderstood.
Oscar Wilde
What is a cynic? A man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.
Oscar Wilde
Friendship never forgets. That is the wonderful thing about it.
Oscar Wilde
I forget what killed it. I think it was her proposing to sacrifice the whole world for me. That is always a dreadful moment. It fills one with the terror of eternity.
Oscar Wilde
Life is like a box of terrible analogies.
Oscar Wilde
Sympathy with joy intensifies the sum of sympathy in the world, sympathy with pain does not really diminish the amount of pain.
Oscar Wilde
And now, dear Mr. Worthing, I will not intrude any longer into a house of sorrow. I would merely beg you not to be too much bowed down by grief. What seem to us bitter trials are often blessings in disguise. This seems to me a blessing of an extremely obvious kind.
Oscar Wilde
The birds that were singing in the dew-drenched garden seemed to be telling the flowers about her.
Oscar Wilde
