George Bernard Shaw
Every child has a right to its own bent. . . . It has a right to find its own way and go its own way, whether that way seems wise or foolish to others, exactly as an adult has. It has a right to privacy as to its own doings and its own affairs as much as if it were its own father.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
Happiness and Beauty are by-products.
George Bernard Shaw
The great advantage of a hotel is that it is a refuge from home life.
George Bernard Shaw
Nothing makes a man so selfish as work.
George Bernard Shaw
