George Bernard Shaw
Violence is the repartee of the illiterate.
George Bernard Shaw
I'm only a beer teetotaller, not a champagne teetotaller.
George Bernard Shaw
Don't waste time collecting other people's autographs rather devote it to making your own autograph worth collecting.
George Bernard Shaw
You accepted Allah or you had your throat cut by someone who did accept him, and who went to Paradise for having sent you to Hell.
George Bernard Shaw
All roads end at the grave, which is the gate to nothingness.
George Bernard Shaw
