George Bernard Shaw
The politician who once had to learn to flatter Kings has now to learn how to fascinate, amuse, coax, humbug, frighten, or otherwise strike the fancy of the electorate.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
My own education has been entirely controversial: that is why I know what I am writing about and appear eccentric to dogmatically educated Old School Ties whose heads are stuffed with obsolete shibboleths.
George Bernard Shaw
Doing what needs to be done may not make you happy, but it will make you great.
George Bernard Shaw
Never fret for an only son, the idea of failure will never occur to him.
George Bernard Shaw
The world was to Shakespeare a great stage of fools on which he was utterly bewildered. His pregnant observations of life are not coordinated into any philosophy.
George Bernard Shaw
Somemenare bornkings and someare bornstatesmen. The two are seldom the same.
George Bernard Shaw
If pity is akin to love, gratitude is akin to the other thing.
George Bernard Shaw
