George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
My only policy is to profess evil and do good.
George Bernard Shaw
You can always tell an old soldier by the inside of his holsters and cartridge boxes. The young ones carry pistols and cartridges the old ones, grub.
George Bernard Shaw
The greatest thing in life is to die young - but delay it as long as possible.
George Bernard Shaw
Modern poverty is not the poverty that was blest in the Sermon on the Mount.
George Bernard Shaw
If I bind the future I bind my will. If I bind my will I strangle creation.
George Bernard Shaw
