Remember that you are a human...

Remember that you are a human being with a soul and the divine gift of articulate speech: that your native language is the language of Shakespeare and Milton and The Bible; and don't sit there crooning like a bilious pigeon.

There is, on the whole, nothi...

There is, on the whole, nothing on earth intended for innocent people so horrible as a school. To begin with, it is a prison. But in some respects more cruel than a prison. In a prison, for instance, you are not forced to read books written by the warders and the governor. . . .In the prison you are not forced to sit listening to turnkeys discoursing without charm or interest on subjects that they don't understand and don't care about, and therefore incapable of making you understand or care about. In a prison they may torture your body; but they do not torture your brains.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

Start with the belief that your life can indeed be changed, and that you have the power to change it.

The English are not a very spiritual people, so they invented cricket to give them some idea of eternity.

I'm not a teacher: only a fellow traveler of whom you asked the way. I pointed ahead - ahead of myself as well as you.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

But to admire a strong person...

But to admire a strong person and to live under that strong person’s thumb are two different things.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

Nothing remains beautiful and interesting except thought, because the thought is the life.

A true artist will let his wife starve, his children go barefoot, his mother drudge for his living at seventy, sooner than work at anything but his art.
