George Bernard Shaw
When you find something funny search it for hidden truth.

George Bernard Shaw
Do not try to live forever. You will not succeed.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
No man ever believes that the Bible means what it says: he is always convinced that it says what he means.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
What is life but a series of inspired follies.
George Bernard Shaw
Marry Ann and at the end of a week you'll find no more inspiration in her than in a plate of muffins.
George Bernard Shaw
