George Bernard Shaw
When we know what God is, we shall be gods ourselves.
George Bernard Shaw
You can easily find people who are ten times as rich at sixty as they were at twenty but not one of them will tell you that they are ten times as happy
George Bernard Shaw
Any sort of plain speaking is better than the nauseous sham good fellowship our democratic public men get up for shop use.
George Bernard Shaw
All progress means war with society.
George Bernard Shaw
I don't want to talk grammar. I want to talk like a lady.
