Inspiration Quote by Oscar Wilde — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“With slouch and swing around the ring”

“The world has become sad because a puppet was once melancholy. The nihilist, that strange martyr who has no faith, who goes to the stake without enthusiasm, and dies for what he does not believe in, is a purely literary product.

Literature always anticipates life. It does not copy it, but moulds it to its purpose.”

“I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read in the train.”

“I always pass on good advice. It is the only thing to do with it. It is never of any use to oneself.”

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

“It is perfectly monstrous,' he said, at last, 'the way people go about nowadays saying things against one behind one's back that are absolutely and entirely true.”

“The greatest minds are capable of the greatest vices as well as of the greatest virtues.”

“Truth is generally the best vindication against slander.”

“Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into friend.”

“You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.”

“Remembering a wrong is like carrying a burden on the mind.”

“If you take each challenge one step at a time, with faith in every footstep, your strength and understanding will increase.”
