QUOTE
I am so clever that sometimes I don’t understand a single word of what I am saying.
We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.
It’s not whether you win or lose, it’s how you place the blame.
An optimist will tell you the glass is half-full; the pessimist, half-empty; and the engineer will tell you the glass is twice the size it needs to be.
Marriage is a long, dull meal with dessert served at the beginning.
Selfishness is not living your life as you wish to live it. Selfishness is wanting others to live their lives as you wish them to.
Religion is like a blind man looking in a black room for a black cat that isn’t there, and finding it.
God grant me the serenity to accept that people are ignorant, the courage to uphold the law when I’m hostile, & the wisdom to realize that murder is illegal.
--All from Oscar Wilde
