More quotes by Oscar Wilde
The tragedy of the poor is that they can afford nothing but self denial.
Oscar Wilde
A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.
Oscar Wilde
Travel ennobles the spirit and does away with our prejudices.
Oscar Wilde
Wisdom comes with winters
Oscar Wilde
It is a sad truth, but we have lost the faculty of giving lovely names to things. Names are everything. I never quarrel with actions. My one quarrel is with words. The man who could call a spade a spade should be compelled to use one. It is the only thing he is fit for.
Oscar Wilde
All the spring may be hidden in the single bud, and the low ground nest of the lark may hold the joy that is to herald the feet of many rose-red dawns.
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
Women are never disarmed by compliments. Men always are. That is the difference between the sexes.
Oscar Wilde
As for modern journalism, it is not my business to defend it. It justifies its own existence by the great Darwinian principle of the survival of the vulgarest.
Oscar Wilde
Each of the professions means a prejudice. The necessity for a career forces every one to take sides. We live in the age of the overworked, and the under-educated the age in which people are so industrious that they become absolutely stupid.
Oscar Wilde
Truth, in matters of religion, is simply the opinion that has survived.
Oscar Wilde
No theory of life seemed to him to be of any importance compared with life itself
Oscar Wilde
I never forget a face, but in your case I'll make an exception.
Oscar Wilde
Prayer must never be answered: if it is, it ceases to be prayer and becomes correspondence.
Oscar Wilde
The real weakness of England lies, not in incomplete armaments or unfortified coasts, not in the poverty that creeps through sunless lanes, or the drunkenness that brawls in loathsome courts, but simply in the fact that her ideals are emotional and not intellectual.
Oscar Wilde
I find it harder and harder every day to live up to my blue china.
Oscar Wilde
To be in love is to surpass one's self.
Oscar Wilde
A burnt child loves the fire.
Oscar Wilde
How marriage ruins a man! It is as demoralizing as cigarettes, and far more expensive.
Oscar Wilde
Young men want to be faithful, and are not. Old men want to be faithless, and cannot.
Oscar Wilde
