George Bernard Shaw
The only time my education was interrupted was when I was in school.
George Bernard Shaw
In a hospital they throw you out into the street before you are half cured, but in a nursing home they don't let you out till you are dead.
George Bernard Shaw
Decency is indecency's conspiracy of silence
George Bernard Shaw
If all the economists were laid end to end, they'd never reach a conclusion.
George Bernard Shaw
The natural term of the affection of the human animal for its offspring is six years.
George Bernard Shaw
