George Bernard Shaw
If all the statisticians in the world were laid head to toe, they wouldn't be able to reach a conclusion
George Bernard Shaw
Do not mistake your objection to defeat for an objection to fighting, your objection to being a slave for an objection to slavery, your objection to not being as rich as your neighbor for an objection to poverty. The cowardly, the insubordinate, and the envious share your objections.
George Bernard Shaw
Political necessities sometime turn out to be political mistakes.
George Bernard Shaw
Money is the counter that enables life to be lived socially it is life as truly as sovereigns and banknotes are money.
George Bernard Shaw
Life would be tolerable but for its amusements.
