"Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery..." - Quote by Oscar Wilde

“Tea is the only simple pleasure left to us.”

“I worshipped you too much. I am punished for it. You worshipped yourself too much. We are both punished.”

“Lady Bracknell. Good afternoon, dear Algernon, I hope you are behaving very well. Algernon. I’m feeling very well, Aunt Augusta. Lady Bracknell. That’s not quite the same thing. In fact the two things rarely go together.”

“No living person is sunk so low as not to be imitated by somebody.”

“the wise man should always follow the roads that have been trodden by the great, and imitate those who have most excelled, so that if he cannot reach their perfection, he may at least acquire something of its savour.”

“There is only one kind of love, but there are a thousand imitations.”

“We are not fond of praising, and never praise any one except from interested motives. Praise is a clever, concealed, and delicate flattery, which gratifies in different ways the giver and the receiver. The one takes it as a recompense of his merit, and the other bestows it to display his equity and discernment.”

“Men sometimes think they hate flattery, but they hate only the manner of flattering.”

“Compliments make me vain: & when I am vain, I am insolent & overbearing. It is a pity, too, because I love compliments. I love them even when they are not so. My child, I can live on a good compliment two weeks with nothing else to eat.”
