A cynic is a man who knows the price of everything, and the value of nothing
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.
Lightning makes no sound until it strike
Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall
Virtue pardons the wicked, as the sandal-tree perfumes the axe which strikes it
All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them
The man of knowledge must be able not only to love his enemies but also to hate his friends
