George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
You don't learn to hold your own in the world by standing on guard, but by attacking, and getting well hammered yourself.
George Bernard Shaw
When Satan makes impure verses, Allah sends a divine tune to cleanse them.
George Bernard Shaw
When the military man approaches, the world locks up its spoons and packs off its womankind.
