George Bernard Shaw
No question is so difficult to answer as that to which the answer is obvious.
George Bernard Shaw
I'm one of the undeserving poor: that's what I am. Think of what that means to a man. It means that he's up agen middle class morality all the time.... What is middle class morality? Just an excuse for never giving me anything.
George Bernard Shaw
Doing what needs to be done may not make you happy, but it will make you great.
George Bernard Shaw
