To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.
- Oscar Wilde
Oscar Wilde was known for his scandalous personal life, which included a trial and imprisonment for homosexuality. After his release from prison, he lived in exile in France until his death in 1900.
- To err is human; to forgive, divine
- What seems like nothing in the eyes of the world, when properly valued and put to use, can be among the greatest riches.
- Success is not final; failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts.
- Try to become not a man of success but try rather to become a man of value.
- If you’re afraid, don’t do it, if you’re doing it, don’t be afraid.
- Sometimes life is going to hit you in the head with a brick. Don’t lose faith.

Do not pray for an easy life, pray for the strength to endure a difficult one.
