I am the most spontaneous speaker in the world because every word, every gesture, and every retort has been carefully rehearsed.
George Bernard Shaw
The only service a friend can really render is to keep up your courage by holding up to you a mirror in which you can see a noble image of yourself.
George Bernard Shaw
I have studied him - the wonderful man - and in my opinion far from being an anti-Christ he must be called the saviour of humanity.
George Bernard Shaw
The greatest thing in life is to die young - but delay it as long as possible.
George Bernard Shaw
