Used 28 February 2004, selected by Kalki; attributed to Wilde in The Psychology of Interpersonal Relations (1958) by Fritz Heider, p. 269; this has since become dubious, and probably a misattribution: Quote Investigator in "Always Forgive Your Enemies; Nothing Annoys Them So Much" (11 June 2021) found that such attribution appears to have first occurred, without a reliable citation, in Reader's Digest (June 1954).
