Quote of the Day by Oscar Wilde: ‘Morality is simply the attitude we adopt towards people we…’ Irish poet’s powerful words on ethics and virtue

Quote of the Day: Oscar Wilde was an Irish poet, playwright, and novelist, renowned for his wit, flamboyant personality, and sharp social commentary. Born on October 16, 1854, he became one of the most celebrated literary figures of late‑Victorian London, admired for both his creative brilliance and his unconventional lifestyle.

Wilde’s legacy rests on masterpieces such as “The Picture of Dorian Gray” and plays like “The Importance of Being Earnest.” His works combined humor, satire, and philosophical depth, often challenging the rigid moral codes of his time. Despite his career being overshadowed by scandal and imprisonment, Wilde’s words continue to resonate, securing his place as a timeless literary icon.
