Misfortunes one can endure--they come from outside, they are accidents. But to suffer for one's own faults--ah!--there is the sting of life. ~Oscar Wilde
Moderation is a fatal thing. Nothing succeeds like excess. ~Oscar Wilde
Morality is simply the attitude we adopt towards people we personally dislike. ~Oscar Wilde
