George Bernard Shaw
My opportunities were still there, nay, they multiplied tenfold but the strength and youth to cope with them began to fail, and to need eking out with the shifty cunning of experience.
George Bernard Shaw
Must then a Christ perish in torment in every age to save those that have no imagination.
George Bernard Shaw
To me the sole hope of human salvation lies in teaching.
George Bernard Shaw
A fashion is nothing but an induced epidemic.
George Bernard Shaw
Decency is indecency's conspiracy of silence
