Oscar Wilde


Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead.

I can resist everything except temptation.

It is absurd to divide people into good and bad. People are either charming or tedious.

Success is a science; if you have the conditions, you get the result.


The only thing to do with good advice is to pass it on. It is never of any use to oneself.

What is a cynic? A man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.

Pessimist: One who, when he has the choice of two evils, chooses both.

I have the simplest tastes. I am always satisfied with the best.


The world is a stage, but the play is badly cast.

Art is individualism, and individualism is a disturbing and disintegrating force.

I am the only person in the world I should like to know thoroughly.

Consistency is the last refuge of the unimaginative.

I think that God, in creating man, somewhat overestimated his ability.
