"Nowadays we are all of us so..." - Quote by Oscar Wilde

“The emotions of man are stirred more quickly than man’s intelligence.”

“Friendship is far more tragic than love. It lasts longer.”

“You have always told me it was Ernest. I have introduced you to every one as Ernest. You answer to the name of Ernest. You look as if your name was Ernest. You are the most earnest-looking person I ever saw in my life. It is perfectly absurd your saying that your name isn't Ernest.”

“Once a man has some money, peace begins to sound good to him.”

“And what about the cash, my existence's jewel?”

“My doctor told me I shouldn't work out until I'm in better shape. I told him, 'All right; don't send me a bill until I pay you.'”

“I have been complimented many times and they always embarrass me; I always feel that they have not said enough.”

“An author values a compliment even when it comes from a source of doubtful competency.”

“Compliments and flattery oftenest excite my contempt by the pretension they imply; for who is he that assumes to flatter me? To compliment often implies an assumption of superiority in the complimenter. It is, in fact, a subtle detraction.”
