"You propound a complicated arithmetical problem: say..." - Quote by George Bernard Shaw

“The greatest thing in life is to die young - but delay it as long as possible.”

“No age or condition is without its heroes . The least incapable general in a nation is its Cæsar, the least imbecile statesman its Solon , the least confused thinker its Socrates , the least commonplace poet its Shakespeare .”

“I learned more from the first stupid woman who fell in love with me than ever my brains taught me.”

“How do you get off a non-stop flight?”

“The only thing to do with good advice is to pass it on. It is never of any use to oneself.”

“In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are not.”

“Their insatiable lust for power is only equaled by their incurable impotence in exercising it.”

“Just as any moron can destroy a priceless Ming vase, so the shallow and ill-educated people who run our schools can undermine and destroy from within a great civilization that took centuries of dedicated effort to create and maintain.”

“There are men running governments who shouldn't be allowed to play with matches.”
