Quote of the Day – Oscar Wilde

  1. Quote of the Day… not actually daily, but whenever I encounter one I think worth sharing and there are not too many in sequence. I like quotes as they frequently distill a piece of wisdom into a brief passage, or make other points very succinctly – such as the witticisms of Oscar Wilde.

“I think that God in creating Man somewhat overestimated his ability”.  ~~ Oscar Wilde

I don’t generally put out two postings a day, but I stumbled across this quote I had queued up and I could not resist.

Heaven forbid I should question such a wordsmith as Oscar Wilde so I am assuming the ambiguity is intentional. Did God overestimate his own ability  or that of Man?
