Oscar Wilde Quotes:
Ocupation: Writer
Life: October 16, 1854 - November 30, 1900
Birthday: October 16
Death: November 30
In England, an inventor is regarded almost as a crazy man, and in too many instances invention ends in disappointment and poverty. In America, an inventor is honoured, help is forthcoming, and the exercise of ingenuity, the application of science to the work of man, is there the shortest road to wealth.
