Quote by Oscar Wilde
The only thing that ever consoles man for the stupid things he does is the praise he always gives himself for doing them.
Summary
This quote suggests that despite committing foolish or regrettable actions, people often find solace in praising themselves for those very actions. It implies that human beings have a tendency to justify or ignore their mistakes by inflating their own ego and finding self-validation through self-praise, even when such actions might not truly deserve commendation. It reflects the complex nature of human psychology and the ability to find comfort or reassurance in our own perceptions and beliefs.
