George Bernard Shaw
Happiness and Beauty are by-products.
George Bernard Shaw
The mathematician is fascinated with the marvelous beauty of the forms he constructs, and in their beauty he finds everlasting truth.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
All dress is fancy dress, is it not, except our natural skins?
George Bernard Shaw
If you take too long in deciding what to do with your life, you'll find you've done it.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
