"An acquaintance that begins with a compliment..." - Quote by Oscar Wilde

“I have pleasures, and passions, but the joy of life is gone. I am going under: the morgue yawns for me. I go and look at my zinc-bed there. After all, I had a wonderful life, which is, I fear, over.”

“Success is a science; if you have the conditions, you get the result.”

“Make some sacrifice for your art and you will be repaid, but ask of art to sacrifice herself for you and a bitter disappointment may come to you.”

“Friendship is the start for what you call love.”

“Ask yourself if you would feel comfortable giving your two best friends a key to your house. If not, look for some new best friends.”

“A slender acquaintance with the world must convince every man, that actions, not words, are the true criterion of the attachment of his friends, and that the most liberal professions of good will are very far from being the surest marks of it. I should be happy that my own experience had afforded fewer examples of the little dependence to be placed upon them.”

“Your recipe, darling, is so tasty, and you sure can stir your pot.”

“There have been a few players described as the new George Best over the years, but this is the first time its been a compliment to me.”

“Praise is well, compliment is well, but affection-that is the last and most precious reward that any man can win, whether by character or achievement.”
