George Bernard Shaw

Do not try to live forever. You will not succeed.
George Bernard Shaw
Geniuses are horrid, intolerant, easily offended, sleeplessly self-conscious men, who expect their wives to be angels with no further business in life than to pet and worship their husbands. Even at the best they are not comfortable men to live with and a perfect husband is one who is perfectly comfortable to live with.
George Bernard Shaw
Statistics show that of those who contract the habit of eating, very few survive.
George Bernard Shaw
