George Bernard Shaw

Alcohol is the anesthesia by which we endure the operation of life.

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

Take care to get what you like or you will be forced to like what you get.

Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.

No man who is occupied in doing a very difficult thing, and doing it very well, ever loses his self-respect.

I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it.

Important encounters are planned by the souls long before the bodies see each other.

We shall see but little way if we require to understand what we see. How few things can a man measure with the tape of his understanding! How many greater things might he be seeing in the meanwhile!

Cure the disease and kill the patient.

It is a happy talent to know how to play.

I really do not see much use in exalting the humble and meek; they do not remain humble and meek long when they are exalted.

I found you essay to be good and original. However, the part that was original was not good and the part that was good was not original.

Man can climb to the highest summits, but he cannot dwell there long.

Kindness, love, strength and determination personified!! Madiba reminds me that everything is possible!

The finest workers in stone are not copper or steel tools, but the gentle touches of air and water working at their leisure with a liberal allowance of time.

It doesn’t matter who you are or what you look like as long as somebody loves you.

So far as a person thinks; they are free.

Poor fellow! I think he is in love with you.’ I am not aware of it. And to me it is one of the most odious things in a girl’s life, that there must always be some supposition of falling in love coming between her and any man who is kind to her… I have no ground for the nonsensical vanity of fancying everybody who comes near me is in love with me.

A man’s library is a sort of harem.

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.

To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.
