from them is as essential part of life it argues that taking risks and trying new things even if they lead to mistakes is more valuable and respectable than avoiding any action or challenge altogether

child a book you would not read yourself you see things you say why but I dream things that never were and I say why not animals are my friends and I don't eat my friends Shaw believed in treating all

second time patriotism is fundamentally a conviction that a particular country is the best in the world because you were born in it he knows nothing and he thinks he knows everything that points clearly to a political career you use a glass mirror to see your face you use works of art to see your soul a pessimist is a man who thinks everybody is as nasty as himself and hates them for it

the parachute I'm an atheist and I thank God for it you don't stop laughing when you grow old you grow old when you stop laughing Liberty means responsibility that is why most men dread it when a man wants to murder a tiger he calls it sport when a tiger wants to murder him he calls it ferocity when a thing is funny search it carefully for a hidden truth better keep yourself clean and bright you are the window through which you must see the world the man who writes about himself and his own time is the only man who writes about all people and all time all great truths begin in blasphemies there are those that look at things the way they are and ask why I dream of things that never were and ask why not without art the crudeness of reality would make the world unbearable I often quote

declares that it is his duty progress is impossible without change and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything doing what needs to be done may not make you happy but it will make you great the thought of two thousand people crunching celery at the same time horrified me if you can't appreciate what you've got you better get what you can appreciate no man ever believes that the Bible means what it says he is always convinced that it says what he means I'm not a teacher only a fellow traveler of whom you've asked the way I pointed ahead ahead of myself as well as you I chose not to make a graveyard of my body for the rotting corpses of dead animals as long as I have a want I have a reason for living satisfaction is death reading made Don Quixote a gentleman believing what he read made him mad choose Silence of all virtues for by it you hear other men's imperfections and conceal your own while we ourselves are living the graves of murdered beasts how can we expect any
