George Bernard Shaw
Better see rightly on a pound a week than squint on a million.
George Bernard Shaw
I never thought much of the courage of a lion tamer. Inside the cage he is at least safe from people.
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
The great danger of conversion in all ages has been that when the religion of the high mind is offered to the lower mind, the lower mind, feeling its fascination without understanding it, and being incapable of rising to it, drags it down to its level by degrading it.
George Bernard Shaw
Reminiscences make one feel so deliciously aged and sad.
George Bernard Shaw
A soldier is an anachronism of which we must get rid.
George Bernard Shaw
