To define is to limit
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.
A cynic is a man who knows the price of everything, and the value of nothing
Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go
The very essence of romance is uncertainty
The heart was made to be broken
I am not young enough to know everything
Every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future
A capacity, and taste, for reading gives access to whatever has already been discovered by others
Three may keep a secret, if two of them are dead
I closed my mouth and spoke to you in a hundred silent ways
Whoever gives advice to a heedless man is himself in need of advice
I choose a lazy person to do a hard job. Because a lazy person will find an easy way to do it
Man is primarily governed by passion and instinct
