We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars
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.
You only lose what you cling to
The enemy is the necessary condition for practicing patience
Conquer yourself rather than the world
O man you are busy working for the world, and the world is busy trying to turn you out
It is man's natural sickness to believe that he possesses the truth
Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted
