"Make it a rule never to give..." - Quote by George Bernard Shaw

“All my life affection has been showered upon me, and every forward step I have made has been taken in spite of it.”

“No question is so difficult to answer as that to which the answer is obvious.”

“Grain by grain, a loaf. Stone upon stone, a palace.”

“I want my boys to have an understanding of people's emotions, their insecurities, people's distress, and their hopes and dreams.”

“Our love for our children springs from the soul's greatest yearning for immortality.”

“Because it is correct to make a priority of young people, taking care that they turn out as well as possible.”

“Tis the good reader that makes the good book; a good head cannot read amiss: in every book he finds passages which seem confidences or asides hidden from all else and unmistakeably meant for his ear.”

“Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming. This is a fault. Those who find beautiful meanings in beautiful things are the cultivated. For these there is hope. They are the elect to whom beautiful things mean only Beauty. There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written. That is all.”

“A book is a loaded gun in the house next door...Who knows who might be the target of the well-read man?”
