Ouida
The heart of silver falls ever into the hands of brass. The sensitive herb is eaten as grass by the swine.
Ouida
Fame nowadays is little else but notoriety.
Ouida
Familiarity is a magician that is cruel to beauty but kind to ugliness.

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
The world never leaves one in ignorance or in peace.
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
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
Dissimulation is the only thing that makes society possible without its amenities the world would be a bear-garden.
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
