"I never saw so many well-dressed, well-fed,..." - Quote by Oscar Wilde

“Bad art is a great deal worse than no art at all.”

“One can always be kind to people about whom one cares nothing.”

“Dear little Swallow,’ said the Prince, ‘you tell me of marvelous things, but more marvelous than anything is the suffering of men and of women. There is no Mystery so great as Misery.”

“The world is moved along, not only by the mighty shoves of its heroes, but also by the aggregate of tiny pushes of each honest worker.”

“Many an individual has turned from the mean, personal, acquisitive point of view to one that sees society as a whole and works for its benefit. If there has been such a change in one person, there can be the same change in many.”

“The only thing that one really knows about human nature is that it changes. Change is the one quality we can predicate of it. The systems that fail are those that rely on the permanency of human nature, and not on its growth and development. The error of Louis XIV was that he thought human nature would always be the same. The result of his error was the French Revolution. It was an admirable result.”

“As long as a woman can look ten years younger than her own daughter, she is perfectly satisfied.”

“Behind many acts that are thought ridiculous there lie wise and weighty motives.”

“Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society.”
