George Bernard Shaw
Men get tired of everything, of heaven no less than of hell and that all history is nothing but a record of the oscillations of the world between these two extremes. An epoch is but a swing of the pendulum and each generation thinks the world is progressing because it is always moving.
George Bernard Shaw
Hypocrisy ... is only bad when it is improperly used.
George Bernard Shaw
Whether you think Jesus was God or not, you must admit he was a first-rate political economist.
George Bernard Shaw
He who has nothing to assert has no style and can have none: he who has something to assert will go as far in power of style as its momentousness and his conviction will carry him
George Bernard Shaw
In a stupid nation the man of genius becomes a god : everybody worships him and nobody does his will.
George Bernard Shaw
Get out of my way for I won't stop for you.
George Bernard Shaw
It is not that I am so clever it is that everyone else is so stupid.
