George Bernard Shaw
Every man to whom salvation is offered has an inalienable natural right to say 'No, thank you: I prefer to retain my full moral responsibility: it is not good for me to be able to load a scapegoat with my sins: I should be less careful how I committed them if I knew they would cost me nothing.
George Bernard Shaw
The most anxious man in a prison is the governor.
George Bernard Shaw
Somemenare bornkings and someare bornstatesmen. The two are seldom the same.
George Bernard Shaw
This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one.
George Bernard Shaw
If you would stick to the concrete, and put your discoveries in the form of entertaining anecdotes about your adventures with women, your conversation would be easier to follow.
George Bernard Shaw
I am the most spontaneous speaker in the world because every word, every gesture, and every retort has been carefully rehearsed.
George Bernard Shaw
