George Bernard Shaw
What really flatters a man is that you think him worth flattering.
George Bernard Shaw
Take care to get what you like or you will be forced to like what you get.
George Bernard Shaw
I prefer the man who calls his nonsense a mystery to him who who pretends it is a weighed, measured, analyzed fact.
George Bernard Shaw
Stop being Jews and start being human beings.
George Bernard Shaw

A genius is a person who is seeing further and probing deeper than other people has a different set of ethical valuations from their and has energy enough to give effect to this extra vision and its valuations in whatever manner best suits his or her
