More quotes by Ouida
A little scandal is an excellent thing nobody is ever brighter or happier of tongue than when he is making mischief of his neighbors.
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
An easy-going husband is the one indispensable comfort of life.
Ouida
Emulation is active virtue envy is brooding malice.
Ouida
Fame! it is the flower of a day, that dies when the next sun rises.
Ouida
Fame has only the span of the day, they say. But to live in the hearts of people-that is worth something.
Ouida
Indifference is the invisible giant of the world.
Ouida
I have known men who have been sold and bought a hundred times, who have only got very fat and very comfortable in the process of exchange.
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
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
The scorn of genius is the most arrogant and the most boundless of all scorn.
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
Scandals are like dandelion seeds--they are arrow-headed, and stick where they fall, and bring forth and multiply fourfold.
Ouida
Youth without faith is a day without sun.
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
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
One must pray first, but afterwards one must help oneself. God does not care for cowards.
Ouida
Dishonor is like the Aaron's Beard in the hedgerows it can only poison if it be plucked.
Ouida
for what is the gift of the poet and the artist except to see the sights which others cannot see and to hear the sounds that others cannot hear?
