Default Help with E-Priming Oscar Wilde's quotes

  • "A cynic is a man who knows the price of everything but the value of nothing" - Translating the "A cynic is a man..." part alone suffices.
  • "A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world." - "A dreamer can only find his way ... "?
I have many more requests for translation like these, only I won't present them all at once. Thank you.

A cynic knows the price of everything but the value of nothing.

Saying a cynic 'is' a man would incorrectly define man. Cynic means: doubter, pessimist or skeptic.

A dreamer can only find his way by moonlight, and as a punishment, he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.
