George Bernard Shaw
My heart, my heart, be whole and free: Love is thine only enemy.
George Bernard Shaw
Most of the money given by rich people in charity is made up of conscience money, ransom, political bribery, and bids for titles.... One buys moral credit by signing a cheque, which is easier than turning a prayer wheel.
George Bernard Shaw
Only on paper has humanity yet achieved glory, beauty, truth, knowledge, virtue, and abiding love.
George Bernard Shaw
England and America are two countries separated by the same language.
George Bernard Shaw
Every man deserves to be judged in the context of his times.
George Bernard Shaw
Must then a Christ perish in torment in every age to save those that have no imagination.
George Bernard Shaw
All classes in proportion to their lack of travel and familiarity with foreign literature are bellicose, prejudiced against foreigners, fond of fighting as a cruel sport - in short, dog-like in their notions of foreign policy.
George Bernard Shaw
