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.
Rise above sectional interests and private ambitions... Pass from matter to spirit. Matter is diversity; spirit is light, life and unity
Never look a gift horse in the mouth
The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance
Violence can only breed more violence and suffering. Our struggle must remain non-violent and free of hatred
Forgiveness is commendable, but apply not ointment to the wound of an oppressor
Be melting snow. Wash yourself of yourself
