He who has never hoped can never despair
George Bernard Shaw
As I write, there is a craze for what is called psychoanalysis, or the cure of diseases by explaining to the patient what is the matter with him: an excellent plan if you happen to know what is the matter with him, especially when the explanation is that there is nothing the matter with him.
George Bernard Shaw
What is the matter with universities is that the students are school children, whereas it is of the very essence of university education that they should be adults.
George Bernard Shaw
A contract for better for worse is a contract that should not be tolerated.
George Bernard Shaw
All progress depends upon the unreasonable person.
George Bernard Shaw
