Oscar Wilde Quotes

From the series "Writer Quotes", my favorite Oscar Wilde Quotes:

Ordinary riches can be stolen, real riches cannot. In your soul are infinitely precious things that cannot be taken from you.

Whenever a man does a thoroughly stupid thing, it is always from the noblest motives.

A man can be happy with any woman as long as he does not love her

They spoil every romance by trying to make it last forever.

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

A gentleman is one who never hurts anyone's feelings unintentionally.

Only the shallow know themselves.

James Brown Quotes

Some Quotes by James Brown:

The one thing that can solve most of our problems is dancing

When I'm on stage, I'm trying to do one thing: bring people joy. Just like church does. People don't go to church to find trouble, they go there to lose it.

I taught them everything they know, but not everything I know.

Sometimes you struggle so hard to feed your family one way, you forget to feed them the other way, with spiritual nourishment. Everybody needs that.

Hair is the first thing. And teeth the second. Hair and teeth. A man got those two things he's got it all.

Billy Joel Quotes

There's nothing better than good sex. But bad sex? A peanut butter and jelly sandwich is better than bad sex.

I would not leave you in your times of trouble. We never could have come this far. I took the good times, I'll take the bad times, I'll take you just the way you are.

I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints - The sinners are much more fun

I am, as I've said, merely competent. But in an age of incompetence, that makes me extraordinary.

The happiest times in my life were when my relationships were going well -- when I was in love with someone, and someone was loving me. But in my whole life, I haven't met the person I can sustain a relationship with yet. So I'm discontented about that. I'm angry with myself. I have regrets.

I think music in itself is healing. It's an explosive expression of humanity. It's something we are all touched by. No matter what culture we're from, everyone loves music.

You're not the only one who's made mistakes, but they're the only things that you can truly call your own.

Johnny Cash Quotes

Johnny Cash Quotes, a true personality:

You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space.

So, I learn from my mistakes. It's a very painful way to learn, but without pain, the old saying is, there's no gain. I found that to be true in my life. You miss a lot of opportunities by making mistakes, but that's part of it: knowing that you're not shut out forever, and that there's a goal you still can reach.

For you I know I'd even try to turn the tide.

How well I have learned that there is no fence to sit on between heaven and hell. There is a deep, wide gulf, a chasm, and in that chasm is no place for any man.

You've got to know your limitations. I don't know what your limitations are. I found out what mine were when I was twelve. I found out that there weren't too many limitations, if I did it my way.

Eminem Quotes

I hope you like Eminem, if you don't, just avoid these Eminem Quotes:

Anybody with a sense of humor is going to put on my album and laugh from beginning to end.

Infinite was me trying to figure out how I wanted my rap style to be, how I wanted to sound on the mic and present myself. It was a growing stage. I felt like Infinite was like a demo that just got pressed up.

I think my first album opened a lot of doors for me to push the freedom of speech to the limit.

There's a difference between realness and an act, and they're an act, and they know they're an act, and they even say they're an act, they even say they're cornballs, they admit it

My father? I never knew him. Never even seen a picture of him.

My family has never been there for me. They expect things because we're blood.

A bunch of girls, swinging from a nice chandelier, landing on top of me naked...while I lay in a pool of steaming hot water!

My earliest memory was raping the babysitter when I was 5...she was 15.

We just kept moving back and forth because my mother never had a job. We kept getting kicked out of every house we were in. I believe six months was the longest we ever lived in a house.

Golf Quotess

Here are some interesting Golf Quotes you might like:

Is my friend in the bunker or is the bastard on the green? - Anon

It took me seventeen years to get 3,000 hits in baseball. I did it in one afternoon on the golf course. - Hank Aaron

In general, the short game has been most effective. Besides working hard on it I always used my imagination with a touch of feel in my hands. You should hit the ball according to what your mind dictates but previously you should visualise the shot. This can be achieved with extremely high concentration. All the difficult shots are hit with the hands. I have hit shots simply by visualising the run of the ball. I had no problem in doing this because my mind clearly indicated I could not miss. I do not stand out any particular shot because it is necessary to believe in yourself to overcome any difficulties. - Seve Ballesteros

Every time a fellow golfer gives me a piece of advice I have thought about it. A different thing is that this advice can be introduced into my golfing routine. Jaime, O’Grady and others are good friends who have wished me the best and I am grateful for that. My best game has come from the strength of my mind. When you have a balanced and rhythmical swing you should exercise it with looseness and imagination. Finally I must say as long as I believed in my own movements I had the winning results. Moreover, I still believe my swing was the best. - Seve Ballesteros

Give me golf clubs, fresh air and a beautiful partner, and you can keep the clubs and the fresh air. - Jack Benny

Malcolm X Quotes

Curtesy of CelebreQuotes:

Time is on the side of the oppressed today, it's against the oppressor. Truth is on the side of the oppressed today, it's against the oppressor. You don't need anything else.

Power never takes a back step - only in the face of more power.

The future belongs to those who prepare for it today.

Be peaceful, be courteous, obey the law, respect everyone but if someone puts his hand on you, send him to the cemetery.

Usually when people are sad, they don't do anything. They just cry over their condition. But when they get angry, they bring about a change.

Sitting at the table doesn't make you a diner, unless you eat some of what's on that plate. Being here in America doesn't make you an American. Being born here in America doesn't make you an American.

Rita Rudner Quotes

I got kicked out of ballet class because I pulled a groin muscle. It wasn't mine.

Before I met my husband, I'd never fallen in love, though I'd stepped in it a few times.

I love being married. It's so great to find that one special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life.
