Oscar Wilde

A good friend will always stab you in the front.

I am not a man of action, but a man of words.

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

I like men who have a future and women who have a past.

Women are meant to be loved, not to be understood.

I love acting. It is so much more real than life.

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

All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy. No man does. That's his.

To lose one parent, Mr. Worthing, may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness.

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

A man's face is his autobiography. A woman's face is her work of fiction.

I am too fond of reading books to care to write them.

I can believe anything, provided that it is quite incredible.

The old believe everything, the middle-aged suspect everything, the young know everything.

I never put off till tomorrow what I can possibly do—the day after.

I have made an important discovery... that alcohol, taken in sufficient quantities, produces all the effects of intoxication.

The well-bred contradict other people. The wise contradict themselves.

I am not at all romantic. I am not old enough. I leave romance to my seniors.

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

I like persons better than principles, and I like persons with no principles better than anything else in the world.
