Write your Sad times in Sand, Write your Good times in Stone.
George Bernard Shaw
It is a monstrous thing to force a child to learn Latin or Greek or mathematics on the ground that they are an indispensable gymnastic for the mental powers. It would be monstrous even if it were true.
George Bernard Shaw
At present there is not a single credible established religion in the world.
George Bernard Shaw
If women were as fastidious as men, morally or physically, there would be an end of the race.
George Bernard Shaw
I can't control what life did to me, but I can control how I react. Therein lies the difference.
George Bernard Shaw
Never repeat old grievances.
George Bernard Shaw
