Oscar Wilde

The true mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible.

What a man really has, is what is in him.  What is outside of him, should be a matter of no importance.

There is no such thing such as an omen.  Destiny does not
send us heralds.  She is too wise or too cruel for that.

The condition of idleness is perfection; the aim of perfection is youth.

There is no sin except stupidity.

What is said of man is nothing; the point is, who says it.

The only difference between the saint and the sinner is that every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future.

Do you really think it is weakness that yields to temptation? I tell you that there are terrible temptations which it requires strength, strength and courage to yield to.

I see when men love women. They give them but a little of their lives. But women when they love give everything.

Love is fed by the imagination, by which we become wiser than we know, better than we feel, nobler than we are: by which we can see Life as a whole: by which, and by which alone, we can understand others in their real as in their ideal relations.
