George Bernard Shaw
No question is so difficult to answer as that to which the answer is obvious.
George Bernard Shaw
The more things a man is ashamed of, the more respectable he is.
George Bernard Shaw
God made the world as an artist and that is why the world must learn from its artists.
George Bernard Shaw
What really flatters a man is that you think him worth flattering.
George Bernard Shaw
