George Bernard Shaw
What a man believes may be ascertained, not from his creed, but from the assumptions on which he habitually acts.

George Bernard Shaw
Very few people can afford to be poor.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
The practical question, then, is what to do with the children. Tolerate them at home we will not. Let them run loose in the streets we dare not until our streets become safe places for children, which, to our utter shame, they are not at present, though they can hardly be worse than some homes and some schools.
George Bernard Shaw
The degree of tolerance attainable at any moment depends on the strain under which society is maintaining its cohesion.
George Bernard Shaw
Well, sir, you never can tell. That's a principle in life with me, sir, if you'll excuse my having such a thing.
George Bernard Shaw
You are my inspiration and my folly. You are my light across the sea, my million nameless joys, and my day's wage. You are my divinity, my madness, my selfishness, my transfiguration and purification. You are my rapscallionly fellow vagabond, my tempter and star. I want you.
George Bernard Shaw
