More quotes by Ouida
The world never leaves one in ignorance or in peace.
Ouida
Great men have always had dogs.
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
A just chastisement may benefit a man, though it seldom does but an unjust one changes all his blood to gall.
Ouida
It needs a great nature to bear the weight of a great gratitude.
Ouida
It is quite easy for stupid people to be happy they believe in fables, and they trot on in a beaten track like a horse on a tramway.
Ouida
Dishonor is like the Aaron's Beard in the hedgerows it can only poison if it be plucked.
Ouida
Indifference is the invincible grant of the world.
Ouida
The heart of silver falls ever into the hands of brass. The sensitive herb is eaten as grass by the swine.

Ouida
Brussels is a gay little city that lies as bright within its girdle of woodland as any butterfly that rests upon moss.
Ouida
Opposition to a man in love is like oil to fire.
Ouida

Ouida
We only see clearly when we have reached the depths of woe.
Ouida
Intensely selfish people are always very decided as to what they wish. They do not waste their energies in considering the good of others.
Ouida
Familiarity is a magician that is cruel to beauty but kind to ugliness.
Ouida
Excess always carries its own retribution.
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
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.
