Additional quotes by Oscar Wilde

Ambition is the last refuge of the failure

There are many things that we would throw away if we were not afraid that others might pick them up.

The gods are strange. It is not our vices only they make instruments to scourge us. They bring us to ruin through what in us is good, gentle, humane, loving.
