I like persons better than principles, and I like persons with no principles better than anything else in the world.
I can stand brute force, but brute reason is quite unbearable. There is something unfair about its use. It is hitting below the intellect.
You will always be fond of me. I represent to you all the sins you have never had the courage to commit.
You can have your secret as long as I have your heart.[The Canterville Ghost]
Women love us for our defects. If we have enough of them, they will forgive us everything, even our gigantic intellects.
Women are never disarmed by compliments. Men always are. That is the difference between the two sexes.
Women are meant to be loved, not to be understood.[The Sphinx Without a Secret]
Who, being loved, is poor?
Wherever there is a man who exercises authority, there is a man who resists authority.
Whenever a man does a thoroughly stupid thing, it is always from the noblest motives.
When the gods wish to punish us they answer our prayers.
When one pays a visit it is for the purpose of wasting other people’s time, not one’s own.
