Famous Oscar Wilde quotation

No man is rich enough to buy back his past

The world is a stage, but the play is badly cast

I don`t like principles. I prefer prejudices

One should always be in love. That is the reason one should never marry

Life is never fair… An perhaps it is a good thing for most of us that it is not

I can believe anything, provided that it is quite incredible

Experience is the name everyone gives to his mistakes

Women are meant to be loved, not to be understood

I am not young enough to know everything

We are each our own devil, and we make this world our hell

I can resist anything but temptation

Life is much too important a thing ever to talk seriously about it

Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them as much

A kiss may ruin a human life

I am always astonishing myself. It is the only thing that makes life worth living
