George Bernard Shaw

 George Bernard Shaw (26 July 1856 – 2 November 1950), known at his insistence as Bernard Shaw, was an Irish playwright and a renowned satirist.

Here are some quotes from him

1.Marriage is an alliance entered into by a man who can't sleep with the window shut, and a woman who can't sleep with the window open."

2."You see things; and you say, 'Why?' But I dream things that never were; and I say, 'Why not?'"

3."A government that robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul."

4."There are two tragedies in life. One is not to get your heart's desire. The other is to get it."


6. "Capitalism is the exploitation of man by man. And socialism, it's the opposite."

7. "Marriage is an alliance between two people, one who never knows why, and the other who never knows how."

8. "Marriage is an institution that allows two people to endure together the troubles they wouldn't have had if they had remained single."

9. "Never trust a government that is afraid of its citizens."

10. "Common sense is the most widely shared thing in the world: everyone thinks they are well supplied with it."

11. "Capitalism has its drawbacks, but socialism has many more."

12. "Democracy is a system where the people are free to choose who will govern them as long as it's always the same ones."

13. "The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence."
