"Pleasure is Nature's test, her sign of..." - Quote by Oscar Wilde

“The only difference between a caprice and a lifelong passion is that the caprice lasts a little longer.”

“Faithfulness is to the emotional life what consistency is to the life of the intellect - simply a confession of failures.”

“The salesman knows nothing of what he is selling save that he is charging a great deal too much for it.”

“The aim of the wise is not to secure pleasure, but to avoid pain.”

“You can not pluck roses without fear of thorns, Nor enjoy a fair wife without danger of horns.”

“Right or wrong, it's very pleasant to break something from time to time.”

“For the good are always the merry, / Save by an evil chance,/ And the merry love the fiddle,/ And the merry love to dance: / And when the folk there spy me,/ They will all come up to me, / With,”Here is the fiddler of Dooney!” / And dance like a wave of the sea.”

“But what is happiness? If we consider what the function of man is, we find that happiness is a virtuous activity of the soul.”

“No man truly has joy unless he lives in love.”
