A FEW THOUGHTS BY BERNARD SHAW


I am very much fond of reading thoughts by great persons and collecting them if found interesting. George Bernard Shaw is one of those great persons who have impressed me a lot. Here are some of his thoughts which I am sure would impress you.



  1. The worst sin towards our fellow creatures is not to hate them, but to be indifferent to them; that's the essence of inhumanity.
  2. Peace is not only better than war, but infinitely more arduous.
  3. Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all other countries because you were born in it.
  4. The trouble with her is that she lacks the power of conversation but not the power of speech.
  5. Literature is like any other trade; you will never sell anything unless you go to the right shop.
  6. A life spent in making mistakes is not only more honourable but more useful than a life spent in doing nothing.
  7. We have not lost faith but we have transferred it from god to medical profession.
