Wilde Aphorisms

Sometimes people say things better then you, and sometimes its best to get a break from your own words and enjoy others, and all the time Oscar Wilde should be the one to be chosen when in such a predicament:

" A man can be happy with any woman as long as he does not love her."

"America is the only country that went from barbarism to decadence without civilization in between."

""Anyone who lives within their means suffers from a lack of imagination."

"Arguments are to be avoided; they are always vulgar and often convincing."

"Biography lends to death a new terror."

"Consistency is the last refuge of the unimaginative."

"Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months."

"For women it is matter over mind, for men it is mind over morals."

"I am not young enough to know everything."

"I think that God in creating Man somewhat overestimated his ability."

"Illusion is the first of all pleasure."

"It is always a silly thing to give advice, but to give good advice is fatal."

"It is a very sad thing that nowadays there is so little useless information."

"Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask and he will tell you the truth."

"Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone elses opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation."

The list goes on...
