Quote by Oscar Wilde
If it was my business, I wouldn't talk about it. It is very vulgar to talk about one's business. Only people like stockbroker's do that, and then merely at dinner parties.
Summary
This quote suggests a disapproval of discussing personal affairs, as it is regarded as vulgar. The speaker implies that matters pertaining to one's business should be kept private and not excessively shared. The comparison to stockbrokers mentioning their business at dinner parties highlights the rarity and somewhat inappropriate nature of such discussions. It conveys a preference for discretion and an appreciation for maintaining boundaries between personal and professional aspects of life.
