George Bernard Shaw

The worst sin toward our fellow creatures is not to hate them, but to be indifferent to them: that’s the essence of inhumanity.

The great advantage of a hotel is that it is a refuge from home life.

What really flatters a man is that you think him worth flattering.

There is only one religion, though there are a hundred versions of it.

No king on earth is as safe in his job as a Trade Union official. There is only one thing that can get him sacked; and that is drink. Not even that, as long as he doesn’t actually fall down.

Self-sacrifice enables us to sacrifice other people without blushing.

No great man ever complains of want of opportunity.

So far as a person thinks; they are free.

He has spent his life best who has enjoyed it most. God will take care that we do not enjoy it any more than is good for us.

Patience makes lighter What sorrow may not heal.

When it comes to the story of my heart, I am the villain, locking it away; denying its right be free. The chains are tight, restricting its growth; long enough to see through the window of opportunity, but the only escape it has, is via the pen. Why do I deny myself the opportunities? I know it comes from a place of protection, but also of fear. I think my heart has grown a resentment because of this betrayal, and has decided, enough is enough.

There are people who can do all fine and heroic things but one – keep from telling their happiness to the unhappy.

To be furious in religion is to be irreligiously religious.

Where you stand depends on where you sit.
