The Wit & Wisdom Of Oscar Wilde - GoFuckYourself.com

This guy was amazing .... some of the pearls he spouted during his life are simply incredible ...

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

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

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

Consistency is the last refuge of the unimaginative.

Illusion is the first of all pleasures.

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

Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live; it is asking others to live as one wishes to live.

Seriousness is the only refuge of the shallow.

The aim of life is self-development. To realize one's nature perfectly - that is what each of us is here for.

The true mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible.

Whenever people agree with me I always feel I must be wrong.

One should absorb the colour of life, but one should never remember its details. Details are always vulgar.

The secret of life is to appreciate the pleasure of being terribly, terribly deceived.

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

Scandal is gossip made tedious by morality.

We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.

The truth is rarely pure and never simple.

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

Nowadays most people die of a sort of creeping common sense, and discover when it is too late that the only things one never regrets are one's mistakes.

One can always be kind to people about whom one cares nothing.

And my 2 favorites of his, and 2 of my favorite quotes from anyone in all time:

The only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about.

Life was a funny thing that happened to me on the way to the grave

Why thank you kind.

I am but a simple man, who does what he does for me and not for others.

I live life as it comes, because it sure as hell ain't a practice run.

A bit like OW in those respects I agree.
