The truth is rarely pure and never simple
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.
One touch of nature makes the whole world kin
I was taught that the way of progress is neither swift nor easy
It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves
The truth springs from arguments amongst friends
We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light
One who makes himself a worm cannot complain afterwards if people step on him
