The Importance of Being...........

You know, some folks are just way ahead of their time. Does the music of The Doors,"Light My Fire", sound like the bubble gum drivel of "Yummy Yummy Yummy, I've Got Love In My Tummy"? Well those 2 pieces of music were popular at the same time!
Jimi Hendrix sounds just as modern now, even after he's been dead for 37 years. The same can be said of authors and poets. I have always admired Oscar Wilde. During his hey-day in Victorian England, he was the most famous celebrity of his era. He was an awesome wit, and a very free thinker. Heres an example of some of his wisdom, tell me if it doesn't still hold true..

Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes.

The only way to get rid of temptation, is to yeild to it.

It is better to have a permanent income, than to be fascinating.

The soul is born old, but grows young.That is the comedy of life.
The body is born young and grows old. That is life's tragedy.

Seriousness, is the only refuge of the shallow.

There is no sin......except stupidity.

All women become like their mothers, that is their tragedy.
No man does. Thats his.

Society always forgives the criminal; it never forgives the dreamer.

It is better to be beautiful than to be good,
but it is better to be good, than to be ugly.

Discontent is the first step in the progress of a man....or a nation.

The well- bred contradict other people. The wise contradict themselves.

One should always play fairly, when one has the winning hand.

130 years later, this stuff is dead on..... Peace to all.
