More quotes by Ouida
Count art by gold, and it fetters the feet it once winged.
Ouida

Ouida
Indifference is the invisible giant of the world.
Ouida
Fame nowadays is little else but notoriety.
Ouida
Fame! it is the flower of a day, that dies when the next sun rises.
Ouida
Dissimulation is the only thing that makes society possible without its amenities the world would be a bear-garden.
Ouida
Genius scorns the power of gold: it is wrong. Gold is the war-scythe on its chariot, which mows down the millions of its foes, and gives free passage to the sun-coursers with which it leaves those heavenly fields of light for the gross battlefields of earth.
Ouida
Great men always have dogs.
Ouida

Ouida
[On Christianity:] Its lip-service and its empty rites have made it the easiest of all tasks for the usurer to cloak his cruelties, the miser to hide his avarice, the lawyer to condone his lies, the sinner of all social sins to purchase the social immunity from them by outward deference to churches.
Ouida
Brussels is a gay little city that lies as bright within its girdle of woodland as any butterfly that rests upon moss.
Ouida
It is quite easy for stupid people to be happy they believe in fables, and they trot on in a beaten track like a horse on a tramway.
Ouida
Christianity has been cruel in much to the human race. It has quenched much of the sweet joy and gladness of life it has caused the natural passions and affections of it to be held as sins.
Ouida
Emulation is active virtue envy is brooding malice.
Ouida
To vice, innocence must always seem only a superior kind of chicanery.
Ouida
Even of death Christianity has made a terror which was unknown to the gay calmness of the Pagan and the stoical repose of the Indian.
Ouida
When passion and habit long lie in company it is only slowly and with incredulity that habit awakens to finds its companion fled, itself alone.
