George Bernard Shaw

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

We are made wise not by the recollection of our past, but by the responsibility for our future.

What Englishman will give his mind to politics as long as he can afford to keep a motor car?

As long as I can conceive something better than myself I cannot be easy unless I am striving to bring it into existence or clearing the way for it.

If you strike a child, take care that you strike it in anger, even at the risk of maiming it for life. A blow in cold blood neither can nor should be forgiven.

We learn from experience that men never learn anything from experience.

None of us should be defined by the worst thing we’ve ever done.

The whole world is divided for me into two parts: one is she, and there is all happiness, hope, light; the other is where she is not, and there is dejection and darkness…

Friendship is the next Pleasure we may hope for: And where we find it not at home, or have no home to find it in, we may seek it abroad. It is an Union of Spirits, a Marriage of Hearts, and the Bond thereof Vertue.

It is better to walk alone, then with a crowd going in the wrong direction.

A squirrel dying in front of your house may be more relevant to your interests right now than people dying in Africa.

People who can’t be witty exert themselves to be devout and affectionate.

Our words have wings, but fly not where we would.

There is no private life which has not been determined by a wider public life.

Acorns were good until bread was found.

There was never a child so lovely but his mother was glad to get him to sleep.

The mind is refrigerated by interruption; the thoughts are diverted from the principal subject; the reader is weary, he suspects not why; and at last throws away the book, which he has too diligently studied.

I think that we may safely trust a good deal more than we do. We may waive just so much care of ourselves as we honestly bestow elsewhere.

Although the road is never ending, take a step and keep walking, do not look fearfully into the distance…on the path let the heart be your guide for the body is hesitant and full of fear.

A mother’s yearning feels the presence of the cherished child even in the degraded man.

I was the same old me. Just like the Moon yesterday. But because of all the other factors that came to play, the darkness, the brightness, the blood red color. They all were a reflection, a projection due to the perfect set of circumstances. The Moon was still the Moon. But it was still labeled the Super Blue Blood Moon, Just so we can have some understanding, but, again I’ll state, the Moon was still just the Moon, just like I was still just me. Whatever you project on me, and I reflect back, doesn’t then make me become a new person, it’s just a reflection of your projection. I am still just me.
