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.
Broadly speaking short words are best and the old words when short, are best of all
The human being obtains some of his misfortunes by failing to attend to his own comfort.
Art is the lie that enables us to realize the truth
Be not entangled in this world of days and nights; Thou hast another time and space as well
It is in the character of very few men to honor without envy a friend who has prospered
A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on
