George Farquhar(1677 – 1707) An Irish dramatist. He is noted for his contributions to late "Restoration comedy", particularly for his plays "The Recruiting Officer" and "The Beaux' Stratagem". There is no scandal like rags, nor any crime so shameful as poverty. Those who know the least obey the best. We are the men of intrinsic value, who can strike our fortunes out of ourselves, whose worth is independent of accidents in life, or revolutions in government: we have heads to get money, and hearts to spend it. |
