Wordsmith

My favourite spinner of words was Oscar Wilde (Shakespeare invented them when he couldn't find one to fit. I like that too!)

Some quotes from Oscar:

America had often been discovered before Columbus, but it had always been hushed up.

America is the only country that went from barbarism to decadence without civilization in between.

Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

I think that God in creating Man somewhat overestimated his ability.

If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.
