Plus! For your reading pleasure I present:

1. I always pass on good advice. It is the only thing to do with it. It is never of any use to oneself.

2. Philanthropy seems to me to have become simply the refuge of people who wish to annoy their fellow-creatures.

3. Geniuses talk so much, don’t they? Such a bad habit! And they are always thinking about themselves, when I want them to be thinking about me.

4. Lord Caversham: No woman, plain or pretty, has any common sense at all, sir. Common sense is the privilege of our sex.
Lord Goring: Quite so. And we men are so self-sacrificing that we never use it.

5. In married life affection comes when people thoroughly dislike each other.

6. In England a man who can’t talk morality twice a week to a large, popular, immoral audience is quite over as a serious politician. There would be nothing left for him as a profession except Botany or the Church.

7. Like all stout women, she looks the very picture of happiness.

8. Morality is simply the attitude we adopt towards people whom we personally dislike.

9. Nothing is so dangerous as being too modern. One is apt to grow old-fashioned quite suddenly.

10. Women are never disarmed by compliments. Men always are. That is the difference between the two sexes.

11. I love talking about nothing. It is the only thing I know anything about.

12. When one pays a visit it is for the purpose of wasting other people’s time, not one’s own.

13. I don’t at all like knowing what people say of me behind my back. It makes me far too conceited.
