George Bernard Shaw
Beware of the man whose God is in the skies.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
As long as I have a want, I have a reason for living. Satisfaction is death.
George Bernard Shaw
A lifetime of happiness! No man alive could bear it: it would be hell on earth.
George Bernard Shaw
It is more dangerous to be a great prophet or poet than to promote twenty companies for swindling simple folk out of their savings.
George Bernard Shaw
When we know what God is, we shall be gods ourselves.
George Bernard Shaw
