More quotes by 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
Count art by gold, and it fetters the feet it once winged.
Ouida
Sport inevitably creates deadness of feeling. No one could take pleasure in it who was sensitive to suffering and therefore its pursuit by women is much more to be regretted than its pursuit by men, because women pursue much more violently and recklessly what they pursue at all.
Ouida
Excess always carries its own retribution.
Ouida
The fire of true enthusiasm is like the fires of Baku, which no water can ever quench, and which burn steadily on from night to day, and year to year, because their well-spring is eternal.
Ouida
Youth without faith is a day without sun.
Ouida
It needs a great nature to bear the weight of a great gratitude.
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
Hypocrites weep, and you cannot tell their tears from those of saints but no bad man ever laughed sweetly yet.
Ouida
Scandals are like dandelion seeds--they are arrow-headed, and stick where they fall, and bring forth and multiply fourfold.
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
Belief of some sort is the lifeblood of Art.
Ouida
Take hope from the heart of man, and you make him a beast of prey.
Ouida
Women hope that the dead love may revive but men know that of all dead things none are so past recall as a dead passion.
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
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
Truth is a rough, honest, helter-skelter terrier that none like to see brought into their drawing rooms.
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
An easy-going husband is the one indispensable comfort of life.
