"Progress in thought is the assertion of..." - Quote by Oscar Wilde

“Football is all very well as a game for rough girls, but is hardly suitable for delicate boys.”

“Everything in moderation, including moderation.”

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

“All human progress is preceded by new questions”

“It is time to leave behind the divisive battles of the past. It is time to move forward as one nation.”

“The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew and act anew.”

“The credit of advancing science has always been due to individuals and never to the age.”

“There is no such thing as society, there is a living tapestry of men and women and the beauty of that tapestry, and the quality of our lives, will depend upon how much each of us is prepared to take responsibility for ourselves and to turn round and help, by our own efforts, those who are unfortunate. There's no such thing as entitlement unless someone has first met an obligation”

“Yes, our greatness as a nation has depended on individual initiative, on a belief in the free market. But it has also depended on our sense of mutual regard for each other, of mutual responsibility. The idea that everybody has a stake in the country, that we're all in it together and everybody's got a shot at opportunity. Americans know this. We know that government can't solve all our problems - and we don't want it to. But we also know that there are some things we can't do on our own. We know that there are some things we do better together.”
