jackofallgeeksWhen you see this, quote Oscar Wilde:
"Life is far too important a thing ever to talk seriously about."
--Oscar Wilde, Lady Windermere's Fan
Oddly, I didn't know this quote until just now when I went searching.
I had to list these, too:
We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.
What is a cynic? A man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.
A man cannot be too careful in the choice of his enemies..
Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.
America is the only country that went from barbarism to decadence without civilization in between.
One should always play fairly when one has the winning cards.
The only thing to do with good advice is pass it on. It is never any use to oneself.
Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.
One's real life is often the life that one does not lead.
The truth is rarely pure and never simple.
Whenever a man does a thoroughly stupid thing, it is always from the noblest motives.
Anybody can sympathise with the sufferings of a friend, but it requires a very fine nature to sympathise with a friend's success.
One can always be kind to people about whom one cares nothing.
When a woman marries again, it is because she detested her first husband. When a man marries again, it is because he adored his first wife. Women try their luck; men risk theirs
When the gods wish to punish us, they answer our prayers.
A man can be happy with any woman as long as he does not love her.
