George Bernard Shaw

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

The man who writes about himself and his own time is the only man who writes about all people and all time.

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

When a thing is funny, search it carefully for a hidden truth.

We sing in a church, why can we not dance there?

A man’s interest in the world is only an overflow from his interest in himself.

I am who I am today because of the choices I made yesterday.

It really boils down to this: that all life is interrelated. We are all caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.

How hard you work matters more than how much you make.

Some desire is necessary to keep life in motion, and he whose real wants are supplied must admit those of fancy.

The fibers of all things have their tension and are strained like the strings of an instrument.

According to this law [the law of Dharma], you have a unique talent and a unique way of expressing it. There is something that you can do better than anyone else in the whole world–and for every unique talent and unique expression of that talent, there are also unique needs. When these needs are matched with the creative expression of your talent, that is the spark that creates affluence. Expressing your talents to fulfill needs creates unlimited wealth and abundance.

Let your family, staff, and friends know that you’re still the same person, despite all the publicity and notoriety that accompanies your position.

You see things; and you say Why? But I dream things that never were; and I say Why not?

Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each. Let them be your only diet, drink, and botanical medicines.

It is one of the beautiful compensations in this life that no one can sincerely try to help another without helping himself.

Many things difficult in design prove easy in performance.

Be true to your own act and congratulate yourself if you have done something strange and extravagant to break the monotony of a decorous age.

For knowledge itself is power.

Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something.

The most anxious man in a prison is the governor.
