George Bernard Shaw
Statistics show that of those who contract the habit of eating, very few survive.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
Do not try to live forever. You will not succeed.
George Bernard Shaw
Any man who is not a communist at the age of twenty is a fool. Any man who is still a communist at the age of thirty is an even bigger fool.
George Bernard Shaw
The worst sin toward our fellow creatures is not to hate them, but to be indifferent to them: that's the essence of inhumanity.
George Bernard Shaw
