George Bernard Shaw
There are scores of thousands of human insects who are ready at a moment's notice to reveal the Will of God on every possible subject
George Bernard Shaw
The most intolerable pain is produced by prolonging the keenest pleasure.
George Bernard Shaw
Not everybody is strong enough to endure life without an anesthetic. Drink probably averts more gross crime than it causes.
George Bernard Shaw
Everything happens to everybody sooner or later if there is time enough.
George Bernard Shaw
Money is indeed the most important thing in the world and all sound and successful personal and national morality should have this fact for its basis.
George Bernard Shaw
An actress is not a lady at least, when she is, she is not an actress.
George Bernard Shaw
