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.

Oscar Wilde
Image
Philosophy is like a normal personal organizer, but it's smaller than a matchbox.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Children have a natural antipathy to books- handicraft should be the basis of education. Boys and girls should be taught to use their hands to make something, and they would be less apt to destroy and be mischievous.
Oscar Wilde
Image
The only thing that one really knows about human nature is that it changes. Change is the one quality we can predicate of it.
Oscar Wilde
Image
The body sins once, and has done with its sin, for action is a mode of purification. Nothing remains then but the recollection of a pleasure, or the luxury of a regret.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Great passions are for the great of soul, and great events can be seen only by those who are on a level with them
