George Bernard Shaw
What Englishman will give his mind to politics as long as he can afford to keep a motor car?
George Bernard Shaw
Those who won't hesitate to vivisect, won't hesitate to lie about it as well.
George Bernard Shaw
The fact is that the intrinsic worth of the book, play or whatever the author is trying to sell is the least, last factor in the the whole transaction.
George Bernard Shaw
An election is a moral horror, as bad as a battle except for the blood a mud bath for every soul concerned in it.
George Bernard Shaw
