1.1881年，王尔德坐船横跨大洋来到美利坚，进关的时候傲然地对海关官员翻了个白眼说：“我没有什么可以申报的，除了我的才华。” (I have nothing to declare except my genius.)
2.他嘲讽一切。 他嘲讽他的敌人，“要原谅你的敌人，没有什么事比这更让他们抓狂的了。” (Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.)
3.他也嘲讽他的朋友。“我不想去天堂，我的朋友都不在那里。” (I don't want to go to heaven. None of my friends are there.)
4.他嘲讽平庸的人，几乎不给人留任何活路。他说，“努力不过是无事可做的人的避难所。” (Hard work is simply the refuge of people who have nothing to do.)
5.如今段子手们还在玩的梗，他100多年前就用过了。“我年轻时以为金钱是世界上最重要的东西，等到老了才知道，原来真的是这样。” (When I was young, I used to think that money was the most important thing in life, now that I am old, I know it is.)
6.他也看不起庸俗的大众。“公众惊人地宽容。他们可以原谅一切，除了天才。” (The public is wonderfully tolerant. It forgives everything except genius.)
7.他不相信爱情。他说，“人生就是一件蠢事追着另一件蠢事而来，而爱情则是两个蠢东西追来追去。” (Life is one fool thing after another whereas love is two fool things after each other.)
8.他也不相信婚姻。离婚的主要原因是什么？结婚。What is the chief cause of divorce? Marriage.
9.已婚男人的快乐来自那些他没有娶的人。
The happiness of a married man depends on the people he has not married.
10.他嘲讽悲观主义者。“借钱就要向悲观主义者借，因为他们不会期待你还钱。” (Always borrow money from a pessimist. He won't expect it back.)
11.他嘲讽好为人师的人。“对于建议，你所能做的，就是把它转送给别人，建议从来就不是给自己准备的。” (The only thing to do with good advice is to pass it on. It is never of any use to oneself.)
12.他说，“只有无聊的人才会把早餐吃出花样来。” (Only dull people are brilliant at breakfast).
13.他说，”只有浅薄的人才了解自己。” (Only the shallow know themselves.)
14.他还说，“糟糕的画家总是欣赏彼此的作品。” (Bad artists always admire each other's work.)
15.但是他同样不喜欢优秀的人。“一个优秀的人没有敌人，但他的朋友也没有一个喜欢他。” (An excellent man; he has no enemies; and none of his friends like him.)
16.他嘲讽美国人。“美国是唯一一个直接从野蛮进入颓废、中间没有经过文明阶段的社会。” (America is the only country that went from barbarism to decadence without civilization in between.)
17.他也嘲讽他的同胞。“我们爱尔兰人太诗意以至不能做诗人，我们的国家里充满才华横溢的失败者，可我们是自希腊人以来最会说空话的民族。” (We Irish are too poetical to be poets; we are a nation of brilliant failures, but we are the greatest talkers since the Greeks.) 那时爱尔兰还属于英国。
18.他看不起和他同时代的人，他说：“死亡和庸俗是十九世纪仅有的无法用巧辩逃避的东西。” (Death and vulgarity are the only two facts in the nineteenth century that one cannot explain away.) 他问：“为什么我会和这样一些人生活在同一个时代？” (Why was I born with such contemporaries?)
