Sheridan Learns

Famous quotes containing the words sheridan and/or learns:

    For if there is anything to one’s praise, it is foolish vanity to be gratified at it, and if it is abuse—why one is always sure to hear of it from one damned good-natured friend or another!
    —Richard Brinsley Sheridan (1751–1816)

    Considering that, all hatred driven hence,
    The soul recovers radical innocence
    And learns at last that it is self-delighting,
    Self-appeasing, self-affrighting,
    And that its own sweet will is Heaven’s will;
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
