George Bernard Shaw
Schools and schoolmasters, as we have them today, are not popular as places of education and teachers, but rather prisons and turnkeys in which children are kept to prevent them disturbing and chaperoning their parent.
George Bernard Shaw
If you injure your neighbour, better not do it by halves.
George Bernard Shaw
Take care to get what you like or you will be forced to like what you get.
