George Bernard Shaw
I don't like the idea of killing my fellow creatures in order to eat their dead bodies.

George Bernard Shaw
To be in hell is to drift to be in heaven is to steer.
George Bernard Shaw
If only for a half hour a day, a child should do something serviceable to the community
George Bernard Shaw
A man of great common sense and good taste - meaning thereby a man without originality or moral courage.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
A mind of the caliber of mine cannot derive its nutrient from cows.
George Bernard Shaw
