Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go
Irish poet and playwright. After writing in different forms throughout the 1880s, he became one of London's most popular playwrights in the early 1890s.
We are not rich by what we possess but by what we can do without
One of the penalties of refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors
Nations are born in the hearts of poets, they prosper and die in the hands of politicians
The hand of liberality is stronger than the arm of power
The best revenge is to be unlike him who performed the injury.
Be the change that you wish to see in the world
