More quotes by Ouida
The scorn of genius is the most arrogant and the most boundless of all scorn.
Ouida
The joy of a strong nature is as cloudless as its suffering is desolate.
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
There is no applause that so flatters a man as that which he wrings from unwilling throats.
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

Ouida
Emulation is active virtue envy is brooding malice.
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

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
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
To vice, innocence must always seem only a superior kind of chicanery.
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
We only see clearly when we have reached the depths of woe.
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
Indifference is the invincible grant of the world.
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
There is a chord in every heart that has a sigh in it if touched aright.
Ouida
Talent wears well, genius wears itself out talent drives a snug brougham in fact genius, a sun-chariot in fancy.
Ouida
Fame has only the span of the day, they say. But to live in the hearts of people-that is worth something.
Ouida
