George Bernard Shaw
As long as I have a want, I have a reason for living. Satisfaction is death.
George Bernard Shaw
Capitalism justified itself and was adopted as an economic principle on the express ground that it provides selfish motives for doing good, and that human beings will do nothing except for selfish motives
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
Nothing can save us from a perpetual headlong fall into a bottomless abyss but a solid footing of dogma and we no sooner agree to that than we find that the only trustworthy dogma is that there is no dogma.
George Bernard Shaw
Man gives every reason for his conduct save one, every excuse for his crimes save one, every plea for his safety save one and that one is his cowardice
George Bernard Shaw
The camera can represent flesh so superbly that, if I dared, I would never photograph a figure without asking that figure to take its clothes off.
George Bernard Shaw
Nothing is more dreadful than a husband who keeps telling you everything he thinks, and always wants to know what you think.
George Bernard Shaw
Even the youngest of us may be wrong sometimes.
George Bernard Shaw
Don't lose faith. Promise yourself that you will be a success story, and I promise you that all the forces of the universe will unite to come to your aid you might not feel today or for a while, but the longer you wait the bigger the prize.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
