Oscar Wilde's Top 10 Tips for Living a Kick-Ass Life

10:29 AM

Looking for some pointers on how to live an awesome life? If Mark Twain’s Top 9 Tips for Living a Kick-Ass Life was not enough, take it from Oscar Wilde, an Irish writer and poet, who shared his unfiltered views and opinions with the world on everything from art to death, and became one of the best-known personalities of his day. Known for his biting wit, and a plentitude of aphorisms, he became one of the most successful playwrights of the late Victorian era in London, and one of the greatest celebrities of his day. But don't just take my word for it, soak up the wisdom with this valuable advice from some of his most well-known quotes.


1. On Love
Keep" love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead.

2. On Education
“Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught.”


3. On Being Yourself
“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.”

4. On Forgiveness
“Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.” 

5. On Relationships
“Never love anyone who treats you like you’re ordinary.”

6. On Advice
“The only good thing to do with good advice is pass it on; it is never of any use to oneself.”

7. On Living
“Live! Live the wonderful life that is in you! Let nothing be lost upon you. Be always searching for new sensations. Be afraid of nothing.”

8.On Happiness
“With freedom, books, flowers, and the moon, who could not be happy?”

9. On Temptation
“The only way to get rid of temptation is to yield to it.”

10. On Emotions
“I don’t want to be at the mercy of my emotions. I want to use them, to enjoy them, and to dominate them.”
