Quote by William Butler Yeats (1865-1939) , W. B. Yeats (1865-1939)

• An aged man is but a paltry thing, a tattered coat upon a stick.

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

• A pity beyond all telling is hid in the heart of love.

• We taste and feel and see the truth. We do not reason outselves into it.

• Our own acts are isolated and one act does not buy absolution for another.

• Have not all races had their first unity from a mythology that marries them to rock and hill?
