George Bernard Shaw was one of the most productive man in terms of spouting awesome one-liner. Or sometimes 2-or-3 liners ...Just check some of his sayings:
“A
man never tells you anything until you contradict him.“
“Reasonable people adapt themselves to the world. Unreasonable people attempt to adapt the world to themselves. All progress, therefore, depends on unreasonable people.“
“All censorships exist to prevent any one from challenging current conceptions and existing institutions. All progress is initiated by challenging current conceptions, and executed by supplanting existing institutions. Consequently the first condition of progress is the removal of censorships.“
“All great truths begin as blasphemies.“
“Democracy is a device that insures we shall be governed no better than we deserve.“
“Disobedience, the rarest and most courageous of the virtues, is seldom distinguished from neglect, the laziest and commonest of the vices.“
“Hatred is the coward's revenge for being intimidated."
“Martyrdom: The only way a man can become famous without ability.“
“No man ever believes that the Bible means what it says: He is always convinced that it says what he means.“
“Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all other countries because you were born in it.“
“Why should we take advice on sex from the pope? If he knows anything about it, he shouldn't!“
