More quotes by 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 the north wind that lashes men into Vikings it is the soft, luscious south wind which lulls them to lotus dreams.
Ouida
A pipe is a pocket philosopher,--a truer one than Socrates, for it never asks questions. Socrates must have been very tiresome, when one thinks of it.
Ouida
Indifference is the invincible grant of the world.
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.
Ouida
Great men have always had dogs.
Ouida
To vice, innocence must always seem only a superior kind of chicanery.
Ouida

Ouida

Ouida
Hypocrites weep, and you cannot tell their tears from those of saints but no bad man ever laughed sweetly yet.
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
Fame has only the span of the day, they say. But to live in the hearts of people-that is worth something.
Ouida
The art of pleasing is more based on the art of seeming pleased than people think of, and she disarmed the prejudices of her enemies by the unaffected delight she appeared to take in themselves.
Ouida
Dishonor is like the Aaron's Beard in the hedgerows it can only poison if it be plucked.
Ouida
A just chastisement may benefit a man, though it seldom does but an unjust one changes all his blood to gall.
