Great men have always had dogs.
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
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
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
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
Count art by gold, and it fetters the feet it once winged.
Ouida
Fame! it is the flower of a day, that dies when the next sun rises.
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
[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.

Great men always have dogs.
Ouida
We only see clearly when we have reached the depths of woe.
Ouida
Even of death Christianity has made a terror which was unknown to the gay calmness of the Pagan and the stoical repose of the Indian.
Ouida
Talent wears well, genius wears itself out talent drives a snug brougham in fact genius, a sun-chariot in fancy.
Ouida
Power is sweet, and when you are a little clerk you love its sweetness quite as much as if you were an emperor, and maybe you love it a good deal more.
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
Indifference is the invincible grant of the world.
Ouida
There is a chord in every heart that has a sigh in it if touched aright.
Ouida
you have not a boat of your own, that is just it that is what women always suffer from they have to steer, but the craft is some one else's, and the haul too.
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.
