George Bernard Shaw
To the person with a toothache, even if the world is tottering, there is nothing more important than a visit to a dentist.
George Bernard Shaw
This is the true joy of life-the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one, the being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown to the scrap-heap the being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish clod of ailments and grievances.
George Bernard Shaw
At present there is not a single credible established religion in the world.
George Bernard Shaw
The conversion of a savage to Christianity is the conversion of Christianity to savagery.
George Bernard Shaw
