More quotes by 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
Great men always have dogs.
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?
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
An easy-going husband is the one indispensable comfort of life.
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
Fancy tortures more people than does reality
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
The joy of a strong nature is as cloudless as its suffering is desolate.
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 scorn of genius is the most arrogant and the most boundless of all scorn.
Ouida
It is a kind of blindness--poverty. We can only grope through life when we are poor, hitting and maiming ourselves against every angle.
Ouida
Youth without faith is a day without sun.
Ouida
One must pray first, but afterwards one must help oneself. God does not care for cowards.
Ouida
Talent wears well, genius wears itself out talent drives a snug brougham in fact genius, a sun-chariot in fancy.
Ouida
Fame! it is the flower of a day, that dies when the next sun rises.
Ouida
There is no applause that so flatters a man as that which he wrings from unwilling throats.
Ouida
Opposition to a man in love is like oil to fire.
Ouida
Honor is an old-world thing but it smells sweet to those in whose hand it is strong.
Ouida
