One post on the insightful quotes of Oscar Wilde was never going to be enough. Not even close. That’s why the first one was geared to his more wittier quotes and the second part is focused on his more philosophical, more profound quotes. Before you do, here are two extra quotes.

We are each our own devil, and we make this world our hell.
thanks for sharing more of these, i cannot get enough –
Thanks. The first bonus quote is probably what I’d get as a tattoo if I ever got one. He had such a wonderful gift with words. I could easily quote more. Just an endless fountain of wit and wisdom.
I love Oscar Wilde. I kissed his grave in Paris.
How busy was it there? Is it the same one as Jim Morrison?
It is. There were other people there but not that busy.
It would be nice to visit and see them both. Have you seen this? It’s from Paris J’taime https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvq2dF6Mj1o
“We are each our own devil, and we make this world our hell.”

I love the one about friend’s success

You are a sage dear Alex
