    That one is always present for me. He´s one of my favourites - Wilde.

    Here´s another that I try to keep in mind:
    “I always like to know everything about my new friends, and nothing about my old ones.” :-)

    PS: A friend bought me a book that is full of quotations from Wilde with reference from his books - Um Guia para a Vida Moderna. It´s really nowadays.

    The second half of a man’s life is made up of nothing but the habits he has acquired during the first half.
