The lesson plans are finished. The students are on their 'picnic'. So what can a teacher do when they are a prisoner in the English Zone?
Of course, share some favorite quotes from Oscar Wilde (1854 - 1900), the Irish dramatist, novelist and poet. Would that I had his intellect (and ego).
A little sincerity is a dangerous thing, and a great deal of it is absolutely fatal.
Anyone who lives within their means suffers from a lack of imagination.
Consistency is the last refuge of the unimaginative.
Genius is born--not paid.
I am not young enough to know everything.
Seriousness is the only refuge of the shallow.
The only thing to do with good advice is pass it on. It is never any use to oneself.
The secret of life is to appreciate the pleasure of being terribly, terribly deceived.
Work is the curse of the drinking classes.
What is a cynic? A man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.
A little sincerity is a dangerous thing, and a great deal of it is absolutely fatal.
The truth is rarely pure and never simple.
It is better to have a permanent income than to be fascinating.
Women love us for our defects. If we have enough of them, they will forgive us everything, even our intellects
I suppose that I shall have to die beyond my means.
MY PERSONAL FAVORITE:
We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.
Oscar Wilde (1854 - 1900) |
