George Bernard Shaw
Which painting in the National Gallery would I save if there was a fire? The one nearest the door of course.
George Bernard Shaw
Hell is not all paved with bad intentions.
George Bernard Shaw
From a very early age, I've had to interrupt my education to go to school.
George Bernard Shaw
Our lives are shaped not as much by our experiences as by our expectations.
George Bernard Shaw
The salvation of the world depends on the men who will not take evil good-humouredly, and whose laughter destroys the fool instead of encouraging him.
George Bernard Shaw
In the arts of peace Man is a bungler.
George Bernard Shaw
