More quotes by George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
People get nothing out of books but what they bring to them.
George Bernard Shaw
A modern gentleman [rich person] is necessarily the enemy of his country. Even in war he does not fight to defend it, but to prevent his power of preying on it from passing to a foreigner.
George Bernard Shaw
