Journalists are too poorly paid in this country to know anything that is fit for publication.
George Bernard Shaw
Most of the money given by rich people in charity is made up of conscience money, ransom, political bribery, and bids for titles.... One buys moral credit by signing a cheque, which is easier than turning a prayer wheel.
George Bernard Shaw
Taxes are the chief business of a conqueror of the world.
George Bernard Shaw
