George Bernard Shaw

'A gentleman is one who puts more into the world than he takes out.'


 'A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.'


'Choose silence of all virtues, for by it you hear other men's imperfections, and conceal your own.'



'Few people think more than two or three times a year; I have made an international reputation for myself by thinking once or twice a week.'



 'I am afraid we must make the world honest before we can honestly say to our children that honesty is the best policy.'



'I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake.'


'In a battle all you need to make you fight is a little hot blood and the knowledge that it's more dangerous to lose than to win.'


 'In this world there is always danger for those who are afraid of it.'


'Just do what must be done. This may not be happiness, but it is greatness.'


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


'One man that has a mind and knows it can always beat ten men who haven't and don't.'


'Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.'


'Some look at things that are, and ask why. I dream of things that never were and ask why not?'


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


 'The only secrets are the secrets that keep themselves.'


'The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want and if they can't find them, make them.'


 'The possibilities are numerous once we decide to act and not react.'


 'Youth is a wonderful thing. What a crime to waste it on children.'
