More quotes by Ouida
Count art by gold, and it fetters the feet it once winged.
Ouida
What we love once, we love forever. Shall there be joy in heaven over those who repent, yet no forgiveness for them upon earth? --Wanda
Ouida
One must pray first, but afterwards one must help oneself. God does not care for cowards.
Ouida
Familiarity is a magician that is cruel to beauty but kind to ugliness.
Ouida
Fame has only the span of the day, they say. But to live in the hearts of people-that is worth something.
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
Emulation is active virtue envy is brooding malice.
Ouida
Friendship is such an elastic word. There never was an age when it stood for so many things in private, and was yet so absolutely non-existent in fact.
Ouida
It is hard work to be good when you are very little and very hungry, and have many sticks to beat you, and no mother's lips to kiss you.
Ouida
Hypocrites weep, and you cannot tell their tears from those of saints but no bad man ever laughed sweetly yet.
Ouida
Fame! it is the flower of a day, that dies when the next sun rises.
Ouida
Intensely selfish people are always very decided as to what they wish. They do not waste their energies in considering the good of others.
Ouida
You know the Ark of Israel and the calf of Belial were both made of gold. Religion has never yet changed the metal of her one adoration.
Ouida
Dishonor is like the Aaron's Beard in the hedgerows it can only poison if it be plucked.
Ouida
Brussels is a gay little city that lies as bright within its girdle of woodland as any butterfly that rests upon moss.
Ouida
Great men always have dogs.
Ouida
Talent wears well, genius wears itself out talent drives a snug brougham in fact genius, a sun-chariot in fancy.
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
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
We do not want to think. We do not want to hear. We do not care about anything. Only give us a good dinner and plenty of money, and let us outshine our neighbors. There is the Nineteenth Century Gospel.
