More quotes by George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
You can easily find people who are ten times as rich at sixty as they were at twenty but not one of them will tell you that they are ten times as happy

George Bernard Shaw
Where there is no knowledge ignorance calls itself science.
George Bernard Shaw
When a stupid man is doing something he is ashamed of, he always declares that it is his duty.
George Bernard Shaw
The notion that the colonel need be a better man than the private is as confused as the notion that the keystone need be stronger than the coping stone.
George Bernard Shaw
Get out of my way for I won't stop for you.
George Bernard Shaw
I'm an atheist and I thank God for it.
George Bernard Shaw
