List of best quotes by Oscar Wilde:

  2. Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much. 
  3. Everything in moderation, including moderation.
  4. You don’t love someone for their looks, or their clothes or their fancy car, but because they sing a song only you can hear.

  6. There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about.
  7. You can never be overdressed or overeducated.
  8. I can never travel without my diary; one should always have something sensational to read on the train.
