"Both optimists and pessimists contribute to society...." - Quote by George Bernard Shaw

“The English have no respect for their language, and will not teach their children to speak it.”

“Journalists are too poorly paid in this country to know anything that is fit for publication.”

“I never thought much of the courage of a lion tamer. Inside the cage he is at least safe from people.”

“Success does not mean taking, it means truly growing and giving”

“My own share making contribution [to the the well-being of humanity]. So I never feel I am something special.”

“How wonderful it is that we can start doing good at this very moment.”

“I have just been conversing with one man, to whom no weight of adverse experience will make it for a moment appear impossible that thousands of human beings might exercise towards each other the grandest and simplest sentiments, as well as a knot of friends, or a pair of lovers.”

“And all this day an unaccustomed spirit lifts me above the ground with cheerful thoughts.”

“Oh! you are a great deal too apt, you know, to like people in general. You never see fault in any body. All the world are good and agreeable in your eyes. I never heard you speak ill of a human being in my life." "I would wish not to be hasty in censuring any one; but I always speak what I think.”
