Oscar Wilde
Hear no evil, speak no evil – and you’ll never be invited to a party

More Quotes By Oscar Wilde
It is better to be beautiful than to be good, but it is better to be good than to be ugly.
Oscar Wilde
No object is so beautiful that, under certain conditions, it will not look ugly.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
Temperament is the primary requisite for the critic – a temperament exquisitely susceptible to beauty, and to the various impressions that beauty gives us.
Oscar Wilde
The State is to make what is useful. The individual is to make what is beautiful.
Oscar Wilde
