“Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
“You will always be fond of me. I represent to you all the sins you never had the courage to commit.”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
“There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about.”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
The best effect of fine persons is felt after we have left their presence.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Each of us has heaven and hell in him, Basil, cried Dorian with a wild gesture of despair.”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
“I should fancy, however, that murder is always a mistake. One should never do anything that one cannot talk about after dinner.”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
“Society, civilized society at least, is never very ready to believe anything to the detriment of those who are both rich and fascinating. It feels instinctively that manners are of more importance than morals, and, in its opinion, the highest respectability is of much less value than the possession of a good chef.”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
“Experience was of no ethical value. It was merely the name men gave to their mistakes. Moralists had, as a rule, regarded it as a mode of warning, had claimed for it a certain ethical efficacy in the formation of character, had praised it as something that taught us what to follow and showed us what to avoid. But there was no motive power in experience. It was as little of an active cause as conscience itself. All that it really demonstrated was that our future would be the same as our past, and that the sin we had done once, and with loathing, we would do many times, and with joy.”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
“It is quite true that I have worshipped you with far more romance of feeling than a man usually gives to a friend. Somehow, I had never loved a woman. I suppose I never had time. Perhaps, as Harry says, a really grande passion is the privilege of those who have nothing to do, and that is the use of the idle classes in a country”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
“She lacks the indefinable charm of weakness. It is the feet of clay that make the gold of the image precious.”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
“The nineteenth century dislike of realism is the rage of Caliban seeing his own face in a glass. The nineteenth century dislike of romanticism is the rage of Caliban not seeing his own face in a glass.”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
There are many people who can do big things, but there are very few people who will do the small things.
Quote by -Mother Teresa
Be kind to each other. It is better to commit faults with gentleness than to work miracles with unkindness
Quote by -Mother Teresa
We must not be surprised when we hear of murders, killings, of wars, or of hatred… If a mother can kill her own child, what is left but for us to kill each other?
Quote by -Mother Teresa
We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty. We must start in our own homes to remedy this kind of poverty
Quote by -Mother Teresa
We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop.
Quote by -Mother Teresa
For all those who make such stories which are not true, I only say God forgive all these people. I feel sorry for them because they are doing so much harm to themselves
Quote by -Mother Teresa
Let us more and more insist on raising funds of love, of kindness, of understanding, of peace. Money will come if we seek first the Kingdom of God – the rest will be given
Quote by -Mother Teresa
We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature – trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence… We need silence to be able to touch souls
Quote by -Mother Teresa
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway. For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway
Quote by -Mother Teresa
Do we know our poor people? Do we know the poor in our house, in our family? Perhaps they are not hungry for a piece of bread. Perhaps our children, husband, wife, are not hungry, or naked, or dispossessed, but are you sure there is no one there who feels unwanted, deprived of affection?
Quote by -Mother Teresa
The openness of our hearts and minds can be measured by how wide we draw the circle of what we call family.
Quote by -Mother Teresa
Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody, I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat.”
Quote by -Mother Teresa
No matter how tired you are, no matter how physically exhausting this work may be, it’s beautiful to bring a smile into someone’s life, to care for someone in need. What greater joy can there be?
Quote by -Mother Teresa
The beginning of prayer is silence. If we really want to pray we must first learn to listen, for in the silence of the heart God speaks. And to be able to see that silence, to be able to hear God we need a clean heart; for a clean heart can see God, can hear God, can listen to God; and then only from the fullness of our heart can we speak to God. But we cannot speak unless we have listened, unless we have made that connection with God in the silence of our heart
