    A man of many thoughts - lets pause for thoughts from Oscar ……..


    I think that God, in creating man - overestimated his ability

    Some cause happiness wherever they go, others - whenever they go

    I can resist everything - except temptation

    (My favourite) .. Be yourself - everyone else is taken

    Fashion is a form of ugliness - so intolerable, that we have to change it every 6 months

    There is only one thing worse than being talked about - and that's not being talked about

    I checked Quote Investigator. Looks like it's not due to Wilde, maybe Billy Wilder, not conclusive. I usually try to check quotes. It's too late to delete it now. Sorry Patsy. :(

    Cockatoos make me smile.
