George Bernard Shaw wisdom
A broken heart is a very pleasant complaint for a man in London if he
has a comfortable income.
A government that robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the
support of Paul.
A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more
useful than a life spent doing nothing.
A little learning is a dangerous thing, but we must take that risk
because a little is as much as our biggest heads can hold.
A man never tells you anything until you contradict him.
A man of great common sense and good taste - meaning thereby a man
without originality or moral courage.
A perpetual holiday is a good working definition of hell.
Alcohol is the anesthesia by which we endure the operation of life.
Am reserving two tickets for you for my premiere. Come and bring a
friend - if you have one.
An asylum for the sane would be empty in America.
An Englishman thinks he is moral when he is only uncomfortable.
An index is a great leveller.
Animals are my friends... and I don't eat my friends.
Beauty is all very well at first sight; but who ever looks at it when
it has been in the house three days?
Better keep yourself clean and bright; you are the window through
which you must see the world.
Beware of the man who does not return your blow: he neither forgives
you nor allows you to forgive yourself.
Censorship ends in logical completeness when nobody is allowed to read
any books except the books that nobody reads.
Choose silence of all virtues, for by it you hear other men's
imperfections, and conceal your own.
Do not try to live forever. You will not succeed.
Everything happens to everybody sooner or later if there is time enough.
Give a man health and a course to steer, and he'll never stop to
trouble about whether he's happy or not.
He knows nothing and thinks he knows everything. That points clearly
to a political career.
I dislike feeling at home when I am abroad.
I often quote myself. It adds spice to my conversation.
I'm an atheist and I thank God for it.
I'm only a beer teetotaller, not a champagne teetotaller.
If all the economists were laid end to end, they'd never reach a conclusion.
If parents would only realize how they bore their children!
