Quote:

All Americans lecture .... I suppose it is something in their climate.

Oscar Wilde said that.

He also said "Of course America had often been discovered before Columbus but it had always been hushed up"
which I very find humourous.

Yes, that one is good, and here are a few others from
Wilde I think are clever:

-Wickedness is a myth invented by good people to account for the curious attractiveness of others.

-I am not young enough to know everything.

-Whenever people agree with me, I always feel I must be wrong.

-To disagree with three-fourths of the public is one of the first requisites of sanity.

-One should always be in love. This is the reason one should never marry.
