Be yourself; everyone else is already taken
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.
Be alone, that is the secret of invention; be alone, that is when ideas are born
Whosoever is delighted in solitude, is either a wild beast or a god
Do what you feel in your heart to be right – for you’ll be criticized anyway
You can often change your circumstances by changing your attitude
Violence can only breed more violence and suffering. Our struggle must remain non-violent and free of hatred
There has to be evil so that good can prove its purity above it
