I don’t want to go to heaven. None of my friends are there
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.
Common sense is not so common
There are far, far better things ahead than any we leave behind
All of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone
Whoever gives advice to a heedless man is himself in need of advice
Give me a lever and a place to stand and I will move the earth
The advantage of a bad memory is that one enjoys several times the same good things for the first time
