George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
I prefer the man who calls his nonsense a mystery to him who who pretends it is a weighed, measured, analyzed fact.
George Bernard Shaw
The poor silly-clever Irishman takes off his hat to God's Englishman.
George Bernard Shaw
In a hospital they throw you out into the street before you are half cured, but in a nursing home they don't let you out till you are dead.
George Bernard Shaw
Whenever you wish to do anything against the law, Cicely, always consult a good solicitor first.

Silence is the most perfect expression of scorn.
George Bernard Shaw
