George Bernard Shaw
The most sublime courage I have ever witnessed has been among that class too poor to know they possessed it, and too humble for the world to discover it.
George Bernard Shaw
If we have come to think that the nursery and the kitchen are the natural sphere of a woman, we have done so exactly as English children come to think that a cage is the natural sphere of a parrot: because they have never seen one anywhere else.
George Bernard Shaw
If all you are going to do in life are the things that are convenient and comfortable, the great things never get done.
George Bernard Shaw
Reminiscences make one feel so deliciously aged and sad.
George Bernard Shaw
German and Spanish are accessible to foreigners: English is not accessible even to Englishmen.
George Bernard Shaw
You don't get tired of muffins, but you don't find inspiration in them.
George Bernard Shaw
