George Bernard Shaw
You don't get tired of muffins, but you don't find inspiration in them.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
I'm not a teacher: only a fellow traveler of whom you asked the way. I pointed ahead - ahead of myself as well as you.
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

George Bernard Shaw
Disobedience, the rarest and most courageous of the virtues, is seldom distinguished from neglect, the laziest and commonest of the vices.
George Bernard Shaw
Do not mistake your objection to defeat for an objection to fighting, your objection to being a slave for an objection to slavery, your objection to not being as rich as your neighbor for an objection to poverty. The cowardly, the insubordinate, and the envious share your objections.
George Bernard Shaw
Spend all you have before you die, and do not outlive yourself.
George Bernard Shaw
We know there is intention and purpose in the universe, because there is intention and purpose in us.
George Bernard Shaw
Being a mother means that your heart is no longer yours it wanders wherever your children do
George Bernard Shaw
Self-sacrifice enables us to sacrifice other people without blushing.

If parents would only realize how they bore their children.
George Bernard Shaw
