Between the optimist and the pessimist, the difference is droll. The optimist sees the doughnut; the pessimist the hole!

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Youth! There is nothing like youth. The middle-aged are mortgaged to Life. The old are in Life's lumber-room. But youth is the Lord of Life. Youth has a kingdom waiting for it. Every one is born a king, and most people die in exile.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

I delight in men over seventy. They always offer one the devotion of a lifetime.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

My experience is that as soon as people are old enough to know better, they don't know anything at all.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

If we men married the women we deserved, we should have a very bad time of it.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Oh, why will parents always ap...

Oh, why will parents always appear at the wrong time? Some extraordinary mistake in nature, I suppose.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Be warned in time, James, and remain, as I do, incomprehensible: to be great is to be misunderstood.

When one pays a visit it is for the purpose of wasting other people's time, not one's own.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

We call ours a utilitarian age...

We call ours a utilitarian age, and we do not know the uses of any single thing. We have forgotten that water can cleanse, that fire can purify, and that the Earth is mother to us all.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Anyone can sympathize with the sufferings of a friend, but it requires a very fine nature to sympathize with a friend's success.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

I may have said the same thing...

I may have said the same thing before... but my explanation, I am sure, will always be different.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Science is out of the reach of...

Science is out of the reach of morals, for her eyes are fixed upon eternal truths. Art is out of the reach of morals, for her eyes are fixed upon things beautiful and immortal and ever-changing.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Alone, and without any referen...

Alone, and without any reference to his neighbours, without any interference, the artist can fashion a beautiful thing; and if he does not do it solely for his own pleasure, he is not an artist at all.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Be yourself; everyone else is ...

Be yourself; everyone else is taken.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

When a love comes to an end, weaklings cry, efficient ones instantly find another love, and the wise already have one in reserve.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Work is the refuge of people who have nothing better to do.

It is very vulgar to talk about one's own business. Only people like stockbrokers do that, and then only at dinner parties.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

I do not approve of anything that tampers with natural ignorance. Ignorance is like a delicate exotic fruit; touch it and the bloom is gone. The whole theory of modern education is radically unsound. Fortunately in England, at any rate, education produces no effect whatsoever. If it did, it would prove a serious danger to the upper classes, and probably lead to acts of violence in Grosvenor Square.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

In England ... education produces no effect whatsoever. If it did, it would prove a serious danger to the upper classes, and would probably lead to acts of violence in Grosvenor Square.

Scepticism is the beginning of Faith.
