  George Bernard Shaw's quotes

- George Bernard Shaw -

(Irish dramatist and literary critic, 1856-1950)

Info "This is the true joy in life, being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one. Being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy.

I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community and as I live it is my privilege - my 'privilege' to do for it whatever I can.

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

Life is no brief candle to me; it is a sort of splendid torch which I've got a hold of for the moment and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations."


Info  "Some men see things as they are and say, why. I dream things that never were and say, why not."
