Oscar Wilde Quotes

"Ordinary riches can be stolen, real riches cannot. In your soul are infinitely precious things that cannot be taken from you.""We are each our own devil, and we make this world our hell.""Life is not complex. We are complex. Life is simple, and the simple thing is the right thing.""With freedom, books, flowers, and the moon, who could not be happy?""Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.""What is a cynic? A man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.""Art is the most intense mode of individualism that the world has known.""When the gods wish to punish us, they answer our prayers.""The intellect is born young and grows old. That is the tragedy of life.""The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it.""To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.""Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.""We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.""An idea that is not dangerous is unworthy of being called an idea at all.""A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.""The truth is rarely pure and never simple.""To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.""Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes.""A cynic is a man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.""I can resist everything except temptation."
