Quotes by Oscar Wilde - The truth is rarely pure and never simple.

Only the shallow know themselves.

I am the only person in the world I should like to know thoroughly.

Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes.

Education is an admirable thing but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught.

Ordinary riches can be stolen; real riches cannot. In your soul are infinitely precious things that cannot be taken from you.

Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live; it is asking others to live as one wishes to live.

There is only one thing in life worse than being talked about and that is not being talked about.

Every one of us casts a shadow.

There hangs about us, a sort of a strange, indefinable something, which we call personal influence--that has its effect on every other life on which it falls. It goes with us wherever we go. It is not something we can have when we want to have it--and then lay aside when we will, as we lay aside a garment. It is something that always pours out from our lives . . . as light from a lamp, as heat from flame, as perfume from a flower.

The ministry of personal influence is something very wonderful. Without being conscious of it, we are always impressing others by this strange power that exudes from us. Others watch us--and their thinking and actions are modified by our influence."

"Be very careful, then, how you live--not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity." Ephesians 5:15-16
