Oscar Wilde

The one charm about marriage is that it makes a life of deception absolutely necessary for both parties.

I put all my genius into my life I put only my talent into my works.

The world has grown suspicious of anything that looks like a happily married life.

If you are not too long, I will wait here for you all my life.

There are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it.

There is only one thing in life worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about.

When I was young I thought that money was the most important thing in life now that I am old I know that it is.

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

Life is far too important a thing ever to talk seriously about.

Everybody who is incapable of learning has taken to teaching.

To expect the unexpected shows a thoroughly modern intellect.

The imagination imitates. It is the critical spirit that creates.

It is only by not paying one's bills that one can hope to live in the memory of the commercial classes.

This suspense is terrible. I hope it will last.

Some cause happiness wherever they go others whenever they go.

The salesman knows nothing of what he is selling save that he is charging a great deal too much for it.

Now that the House of Commons is trying to become useful, it does a great deal of harm.

A little sincerity is a dangerous thing, and a great deal of it is absolutely fatal.

In modern life nothing produces such an effect as a good platitude. It makes the whole world kin.

Anybody can be good in the country. There are no temptations there.
