The very quotable Oscar Wilde was born this date in 1854. Here are 10 of his sayings:
- The only difference between the saint and the sinner is that every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future.
- Life is never fair, and perhaps it is a good thing for most of us that it is not.
- To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.
- Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live.
- Work is the curse of the drinking classes.
- Consistency is the last refuge of the unimaginative.
- There are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it.
- I like persons better than principles, and I like persons with no principles better than anything else in the world.
- No object is so beautiful that, under certain conditions, it will not look ugly.
- An idea that is not dangerous is unworthy of being called an idea at all.
