Leisure may be defined as free activity, labor as compulsory activity. Leisure does what it likes, labor does what it must, the compulsion being that of Nature, which in these latitudes leaves men no choice between labor and starvation.
George Bernard Shaw
The camera can represent flesh so superbly that, if I dared, I would never photograph a figure without asking that figure to take its clothes off.
George Bernard Shaw
There is no accomplishment so easy to acquire as politeness and none more profitable.
George Bernard Shaw
I have found, after a good deal of consideration, that the best place to seek God is in a garden. You can dig for Him here.
George Bernard Shaw
The love of economy is the root of all virtue.
George Bernard Shaw
Whisky is liquid sunshine.
