More quotes by George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
Get out of my way for I won't stop for you.
George Bernard Shaw
People become attached to their burdens sometimes more than the burdens are attached to them.
George Bernard Shaw
We are sick of war, we don't want to fight, And yet we gorge ourselves upon the dead.
George Bernard Shaw
You propound a complicated arithmetical problem: say cubing a number containing four digits. Give me a slate and half an hour's time, and I can produce a wrong answer.
George Bernard Shaw
England and America are two countries separated by the same language.
George Bernard Shaw
The only way to avoid being miserable is not to have enough leisure to wonder whether you are happy or not.

The harder I work the more I live.
George Bernard Shaw
