- I made a fascinating video for you with quotes by Oscar Wilde.
He was an Irish poet and playwright. After writing in different forms throughout the 1880s, he became one of the most popular playwrights in London in the early 1890s. He is best remembered for his epigrams and plays, his novel The Picture of Dorian Gray, and the circumstances of his criminal conviction for gross indecency for consensual homosexual acts in "one of the first celebrity trials", imprisonment, and early death from meningitis at age 46.

"When a man marries she ...." written by Cesare Pavese, Italian Poet
‘We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars’.
&
‘I can resist anything except temptation’.
OW has some class quotes
I think an important one is missing: "everything in the world is about sex, except sex, sex is about power"
His insights on relationship's dynamics were so ahead of his time!
Laughing. He was a jackass, dude. He hated women, especially his wife.
@@speedomars It would be horribld from me to judge him based on his homosexuality and despise for women, the only way to know whats right is to test things out yourself!
@@Mipetz38 To generalize on anything is automatically wrong. There are good and bad men and women. There are great and small men and women. There are bitter philosophers who pontificate out of their shortcomings and some will believe them if they do not think for themselves. Wilde was a cad in life. His viewpoints are twisted by his personal shortcomings.
@@speedomars I work for data analytics and the whole point of my career is to generalize the behaviours of people in order to create better production policies, how can you label this as "automatically wrong"
Yeah, some of Wilde's quotes are extremely risky to assert but if they work for some then its right for them, theres no absolute truth in the world
This is from house of cards right.
'I have nothing to declare except my genius. And this bag with 4 kilograms of cocaine in it' is a full quote.
Oscar Wilde was a man o wit and intelligence. That is why he is remembered now. This is true of others like him no matter when they lived.
Someone told their friend, in front of Wilde, "He can make a quip on any subject"
The person smiled and suggested "The Sovereign" ( At the time this was The Great Queen-Empress )
Wilde instantly answered "The Queen is not a subject".
"Do you want to know the great drama of my life? It’s that I have put my genius into my life; all I’ve put into my works is my talent." Spoken to Andrè Gide, in Gide ‘Oscar Wilde: In Memoriam’

I love Oscar Wilde wit. He is only one who makes me laugh at every quote.
5:17 but true love born from understanding
Woah...
He's quotes make you think more deeply than all the other genius a totally superior man without doubt and that's coming from somebody straight I was made to read his wit and wisdom books as punishment when I was young thank you Nan for my punishment he's quotes are not just wise but funny and intriguing and compelling the greatest of all the geniuses to me. To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance
Profoundly exquisite,
Almost agreeing with everything but sinning and following temptation
Love is the most important thing in life. Money is paper energy I'd rather do spiritual alchemy with and transform to physical things, hence beautiful house and clothes but limited paper pile, but no debt.
So love will pay taxes?
Hmmmm. It’s a good point, i’m largely with you on that as well. But what do you mean when you say spiritual alchemy? 🙏
But when you have money, you have the time for the spiritual alchemy..without money you are to tired of all the work you must do for something to eat..😭
That is why women marry paupers...
@@tahu1349 jealous?
This is the perfect voice for these quotes !
I wish I had learned from an early age too that money was the most important thing in life! 😔
8:04 Thank You 😊
How do you make the Audio?

“I am so clever that sometimes I don’t understand a single word of what I am saying. “. Really made me laugh and also think of his quotes as half truths and half lies

"Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation."
"WHEN THE GODS WANT TO PUNISH US, THEY ANSWER OUR PRAYERS."
Oscar Wilde is right. It often happens that what psychologists cannot explain about the human mind, the creative artist, the poet, can easily explore to the depths which are beyond logic, beyond reason, beyond scientific research.
Oscar Wilde's statement is of tremendous value. When he says, "When the Gods want to punish us, they answer our prayers," he is saying something about our unconsciousness. We are not aware what we are doing, we are not aware what we are asking, we are not aware what we are praying for.
Our consciousness is so superficial and our unconsciousness is so deep that it is bound to be that, if our prayers are fulfilled, it will not be a reward, it will be a punishment; because we had asked for something in our sleep and we will repent that we asked for it.
For example, you are all aware of the Greek mythological story of King Midas. His only prayer for years was that he should be granted the power that whatever he touches becomes gold. Years came and went, his prayer remained unheard. He became more and more impatient, started fasting, started austerities to force the divine powers to grant him the power he had been asking for years.
He also thought that what he was asking for was tremendously beautiful, great. If you were given the chance, you would also accept the opportunity immediately, without hesitation.
Finally, the prayer was heard and his wish was fulfilled. He became capable of changing anything into gold. But then he became aware that he had destroyed himself by asking the gods to grant him this power because he could not eat, could not drink - he would touch a glass and the glass and the water would turn into gold. He would touch his food and it would turn into gold. Even his own wife would not come close to him. His own children would run away, because whomsoever he touched he turned into gold.
Just within a week the man was almost mad, dying. He asked the gods again and again, "Take the power back, I had no idea what I was asking. I have been punished enough." His wife had turned into gold, his children had turned into gold. For seven days he had not eaten anything, he had not even been able to drink water; he was dying of thirst and hunger.
While he was praying for years, he had been dreaming that if he were granted this power he would become the richest man in the whole world; and now he had become the poorest man ever - past, present, future. Nobody has ever been so poor. Friends would not come to see him. His own ministers all went on leave. He would sit in the court and nobody would turn up; he was left alone, and he had always been surrounded by people. He was a great king, now even beggars were not ready to be friendly with him or to come close to him.
There are many mythological stories of the same type in all the languages, and they are not simply stories. They are descriptions of our unconscious mind. Unless you are fully conscious, your prayer is going to be a punishment if it is fulfilled. Because from where will it come? And the moment you are fully conscious you will not ask anything because the greatest treasure has already been given to you.
A Gautam Buddha has nothing to ask for. He does not pray. He has no prayer, he has no god, he is utterly fulfilled and contented. He has no desire, he has nothing to ask, he is no more a beggar.
The man of consciousness becomes an emperor.
Oscar Wilde is a great genius, a poet, a creative artist. And these are the people - not your so-called dead saints - who have given humanity new insights into their own beings, into the possibilities of what they can ask and whether it is right to ask, or wait for the moment when you have come to a point of desirelessness."
A man who does not think for himself does not think at all.
-Oscar Wilde
Nice Video Bro, can you tell me which speech text you used pelase?
"Beauty is a form of genius."
"I am hard at work being idle."
"Patriotism is a virtue of the vicious."
Few more quotes from the Irish Master. It's impossible to encompass all of this work into an eight-and-a-half-minute video.
No one ever blamed him for being Irish you know, I don't think it charitable for you to bring it up now !.
"A woman will never have sex with a man who claps when the plane is landing."
- Oscar Wilde
The correct quote is "she will will not have sex with a man who doesn't understand her hints"

Anyone please quote that incomplete quote in title...i dont have time to watch till end to find out..

Interesting, cynical, hilarious, and somewhat true.
"I have nothing to declare but my genius." Was said to UK customs upon return from US speaking tour. (Back then you could joke at the border.)
Yeah now if you say I have nothing to declare but my genius, armed police say "FREEZE!!!" and then shoot you.

Ayght, thats my cue. . . *goes to kill the side of me that believed otherwise*
I love Oscar!!
Some men need the guiding intellect and hand of a woman to get her point across about her wants and desires.women know best how to play the GAME!
This photo of him remind me Jimmi Morrison some how.
Edit: "How can a woman be expected to be happy with a man who insists on treating her as if she were a perfectly normal human being."
What do you think about that?
Great quote. He is perfectly right
I love all the quotes. They are all heart touching.
Thank God I learned how to make 6 figures from First Trade Markets. They have the best trading strategies to make consistent income.
My God people are stupid aren't they if they just believe you when you post this everywhere. "Aren't these quotes just heart touching... by the way first trade markets have the best trading strategies!" That's just hilarious 😂
"I have nothing to declare except first trade markets fucking sucks!"
I don’t quite understand the quote 7:07. Can I get some insight from someone about it?
It is a paradox, put forth to let anyone think about something which is taken for granted, I. E. The concept of gentlemen, for gentlemen would be those which does not hurt anyone.
My reflection on the quote is the following.
A gentleman has women.
Women are prepared to give birth, hence they should prepare themselves to suffer in some sort of diluted experiences of pain.
Hence a gentlemen hurts intentionally to exercise his ability to give women what they require to give themselves.
Here It is my friend, have a nice day 💫
@@ullintalulna7066 thank you for the breakdown of that quote. Stay safe stay blessed.
Mucha gente suele tener una idea equivocada de Oscar Wilde, al considerarlo como una persona ingeniosa pero superficial. Por ello, recomiendo vivamente la lectura de su libro "De profundis", escrito desde la cárcel (ya que fue acusado de haber mantenido relaciones homosexuales, lo que en la Inglaterra victoriana se consideraba un delito) y dirigido a su amante, Lord Alfred Douglas. Pocas veces he visto un libro que aborde con tanta profundidad el sentido de la vida y del sufrimiento. Y además, escrito con un lenguaje exquisito (al menos en la traducción que he manejado).
Utter brilliance
U fine
My heart went out to Oscar Wilde when I read he was in prison for being gay. And because his partner had a well placed father he was not punished at all. I think the Oscar Wilde was a man born in the wrong time. He definitely would have been well received in this time.
no he was accused of having orgies!
I find the meaning and impact of famous quotations greatly diminished when they are delivered by a computer generated voice with bizarre inflections and no understanding of what it is saying.
A women being a man is to complex to truly understand. Married 43 years and have no clue. Go with the emotions go with the flow and don't worry be content.
I love Oscar Wilde
Is it just me or do some of these sound familiar? Like they worded it differently but it has the same meaning.
I have always thought that it was something wrong with me rereading the books I loved. Not only books: I watched the Roman Holidays 9 times.
Only in some peoples eyes money is important. It is a necessity but it’s not important
The wisest people understand they know nothing at all. This was written I imagine when he was young with part humour but the class references irritate me a lot. All men are equally educated after recieving that education. This ideology imagines the poor to be unable to comprehend the words Ive just read despite having been from the disadvantaged class of his time.
There are a lot of lies in this channel I always check those quotes and I find out that no one has ever said them, Maybe it's just you bringing them from your mind and pretending that they were said by those thinkers.
Please always do your research and verify the accuracy of this channel's quotes.
Im suspicious also !!
There are a dozen of these of these channels out there and I think most of them are not accurate or factual at all.
I take these videos as entertainment but they are probably not sourced correctly at all.
After reading this comment, the title of their next video will be, "Quote by someone ...."
Who gives a shit who said it! Especially if you can use it and it does good in your life .
@@ejp1925 True! Many make a lot of sense, and, I have heard many of them before, by the ‘authors’. Philosophy majors can probably verify them.
I agree with the below comment.. Cheikh
"The smell of the Liffey is one of the sights of Europe" ..... but they've cleaned it up a bit since Oscar left Dublin.
Most people's opinions are mimicry,women are made to be loved not understood.
This is a testimony to the past and most of this is immaturity ,ideology and good intentioned but badly thought out rhetoric.
What would Oscar Wilde know about women? He was homosexual.
@@active6302 but he was married wasn't he ??
Ex lover cannot capable.. that is the main problem..
This video really needs a professional commentary……this guy is monstering the subtlety of Wilde’s words.
“The man who does not think for himself does not think at all.”
Says he, reading out a list of somebody else’s quotations.
ThomasRichardHa.. ??? Sarcasm? Wilde is dead so someone has to quote him. If a lunatic yells out of an asylum window 2+2=4, is he wrong?
@@alanab9674 “Wilde is dead so someone has to quote him.”
Not if people would think for themselves they wouldn’t.
If I say the sun will rise approximately some time after it sets, have I contributed anything of value to the discourse?
@@InceyWincey People can quote other people and still think for themselves. Esp critical thinking. And, no, you don't contribute anything to the conversation. Let it go.
@@alanab9674 “let it go” says she, holding tightly to the other end of the cord and growling viciously :p
@@InceyWincey No. That's directed at you. I suspect you need to have the last word, so go for it.

Love this shit God bless us all🙏🏽❤
People should not forget their enemies, because one day God will remind them about enemies past workings, as GOD has written best story for their works.
Yes money is everything that’s right
"Always forgive your enemies......" That'll allow them entitlement over you. I like most of Wilde's quotes but that aberration is hurtful.
Forgiveness just means you leave room for reconciliation. It does not mean trust them or befriend them.
@@MONKEYSCHANNEL327 Exactly. It is very possible to forgive someone and never interact with them again.
Yeah I done outsmart myself a couple times. Go a bit to far into the forever twirling system of conditions and get stumped a second lol nice

If it's pure, unaldulterated truth you want, Jesus Christ and Alfred E. Neuman are pretty good options.
Its ok. Aint nothing under the sun that cant be fixed
I'm not young enough to know everything
Wilde, a homosexual, was put on trial for gross indecency in 1895 after the details of his affair with a British aristocrat were made public. How this guy has ANY advise, especially regarding women is laughably absurd.
And indeed I had the same thought.
How you don't know about his life despite having searched it is baffling
How some men have cognitive reserves after conjugating breathing is baffling…
So little to spare…
He was brilliant and you don’t like gay people?
Apparently, gays tends to be somehow wiser and and of high intellectual quotient. 😂
The clickbait really bugs me. I don't believe Oscar Wilde would ever have written the words 'have sex with'. In his time, even for sexually 'liberated' people, the expression would have seemed crass to people who valued the English language. And Wilde, because he loved the English language, never wrote a crass expression in his life. OP, please contradict me if I'm wrong.
I don’t care… Jobs that are available now won't always be available but men who won't compromise will always be.
👍👍👍
wait, wasn't Oscar gау?
He was
