Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all others because you were born in it.
Irish playwright, critic, polemicist and political activist. His influence on Western theatre, culture and politics extended from the 1880s to his death and beyond.
The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place
Experience fails to teach where there is no desire to learn
Write your Sad times in Sand, Write your Good times in Stone
People who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are doing it
We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing
I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it
Keep your face to the sun and you will never see the shadows
Be not entangled in this world of days and nights; Thou hast another time and space as well
It is a profitable thing, if one is wise, to seem foolish
A question that sometimes drives me hazy: am I or are the others crazy
I want to sing like the birds sing, not worrying about who hears or what they think
My will is mine...I shall not make it soft for you
