Oscarisms

Here are some delightful quotes from the great Oscar Wilde:

America is the only country that went from barbarism to decadence without civilization in between.

I have the simplest tastes. I am always satisfied with the best.

There are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it.

Always forgive your enemies - nothing annoys them so much.

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

Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.

And my favorite:

A true friend stabs you in the front.
