William Butler Yeats Quotes

Happiness is neither virtue nor pleasure not this thing nor that, but simply growth. We are happy when we are growing.

There are no strangers here; Only friends you haven’t yet met.

Think like a wise man but communicate in the language of the people.

Wine comes in at the mouth
And love comes in at the eye;
That's all we shall know for truth
Before we grow old and die.
I lift the glass to my mouth,
I look at you, and I sigh.

Do not wait to strike till the iron is hot; but make it hot by striking.

Life is a journey up a spiral staircase.

From our birthday, until we die,
Is but the winking of an eye.

Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire

A line will take us hours maybe;
Yet if it does not seem a moment's thought,
Our stitching and unstitching has been naught.

But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams beneath your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams...
