"All that I have said and done,Now..." - Quote by William Butler Yeats

“The pain others give passes away in their later kindness, but that of our own blunders, especially when they hurt our vanity, never passes away”

“John Synge, I and Augusta Gregory, thought All that we did, all that we said or sang Must come from contact with the soil, from that Contact everything Antaeus-like grew strong.”

“We taste and feel and see the truth. We do not reason ourselves into it.”

“When your friends begin to flatter you on how young you look, it's a sure sign you're getting old.”

“With age comes the understanding and appreciation of your most important asset, your health.”

“You know you've reached middle age when all you exercise is caution”

“Every year you wait, long ago gets farther away.”

“A thing which I regret, and which I will try to remedy some time, is that I have never in my life planted a walnut. Nobody does plant them nowadays-when you see a walnut it is almost invariably an old tree. If you plant a walnut you are planting it for your grandchildren, and who cares a damn for his grandchildren?”

“If it turns out that my best wasn't good enough, at least I won't look back and say that I was afraid to try; failure makes me work even harder.”
