George Bernard Shaw
All government is cruel for nothing is so cruel as impunity.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
The perfect love affair is one which is conducted entirely by post.
George Bernard Shaw
I do not want actors and actresses to understand my plays. That is not necessary. If they will only pronounce the correct sounds I can guarantee the results.
George Bernard Shaw
It's just as unpleasant to get more than you bargain for as to get less.
George Bernard Shaw
What a man believes may be ascertained, not from his creed, but from the assumptions on which he habitually acts.
George Bernard Shaw
