George Bernard Shaw
When it comes to the point, really bad men are just as rare as really good ones.
George Bernard Shaw

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
If you injure your neighbour, better not do it by halves.
George Bernard Shaw
