[PW] Re: ? Oscar Wilde Quote - 'good things in life"

[Sylvia Milne]

There's a Wilde quotation page at 
http://www.quotationspage.com/quotes/Oscar_Wilde/

At the end of the quotations at 
http://www.quotationspage.com/quotes/Oscar_Wilde/91
there is a search box where you can search other collections.
I agree that it sounds far too trite and po-faced for Wilde.
