It is courage, courage, courage, that raises the blood of life to crimson splendor.
George Bernard Shaw
People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances.
George Bernard Shaw
Property is organized robbery.
George Bernard Shaw
The harder I work the more I live.
George Bernard Shaw
I tell you that as long as I can conceive something better than myself I cannot be easy unless I am striving to bring it into existence or clearing the way for it.
George Bernard Shaw
Where there is no knowledge ignorance calls itself science.
George Bernard Shaw
Assassination is the extreme form of censorship.
