Ouida

Excess always carries its own retribution.
Ouida
There is nothing that you may not get people to believe in if you will only tell it them loud enough and often enough, till the welkin rings with it.
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
you have not a boat of your own, that is just it that is what women always suffer from they have to steer, but the craft is some one else's, and the haul too.
Ouida
It needs a great nature to bear the weight of a great gratitude.
