George Bernard Shaw
Take care to get what you like or you will be forced to like what you get.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
A love affair should always be a honeymoon. And the only way to make sure of that is to keep changing the man for the same man can never keep it up.
George Bernard Shaw
I find that socialism is often misunderstood by its least intelligent supporters and opponents to mean simply unrestrained indulgence of our natural propensity to heave bricks at respectable persons.
George Bernard Shaw
Every man over forty is a scoundrel.
George Bernard Shaw
The novelties of one generation are only the resuscitated fashions of the generation before last.
George Bernard Shaw
Live in contact with dreams and you will get something of their charm: live in contact with facts and you will get something of their brutality. I wish I could find a country to live in where the facts were not brutal and the dreams not real.
George Bernard Shaw
