George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
Power is the faculty or capacity to act, the strength and potency to accomplish something.
George Bernard Shaw
The man who writes about himself and his own time is the only man who writes about all people and about all time.
George Bernard Shaw
Nothing makes a man so selfish as work.
George Bernard Shaw
Both optimists and pessimists contribute to society. The optimist invents the aeroplane, the pessimist the parachute.
George Bernard Shaw
All progress depends upon the unreasonable person.
George Bernard Shaw
The unconscious self is the real genius. Your breathing goes wrong the moment your conscious self meddles with it.
George Bernard Shaw
