"When I was young, I was no..." - Quote by Oscar Wilde

“Our ambition should be to rule ourselves, the true kingdom for each one of us; and true progress is to know more, and be more, and to do more.”

“I played with an idea, and grew willful; tossed it into the air; transformed it; let it escape and recaptured it; made it iridescent with fancy, and winged it with paradox.”

“I am too fond of reading books to care to write them.”

“Will I, succeed, paranoid from the weed and hocus pocus, try to focus but I can't see.”

“A man is the prisoner of his power. A topical memory makes him an almanac; a talent for debate, disputant; skill to get money makes him a miser, that is, a beggar. Culture reduces these inflammations by invoking the aid of other powers against the dominant talent, and by appealing to the rank of powers. It watches success.”

“Constant dropping wears away stones”

“I envy that man who passes through life safely, to the world and fame unknown.”

“On being asked by someone how he could become famous, Diogenes responded: 'By worrying as little as possible about fame”

“Elvis died the day he went into the army.”
