Seven Brilliant Quotes by Shaw
April 4, 2018
Life isn't about finding yourself.
Life is about creating yourself.

and those who cannot change their minds
cannot change anything.
Some men see things as they are and ask why.
Others dream things that never were and ask why not.
We don't stop playing because we grow old;

you use works of art to see your soul.
Youth is wasted on the young.
I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig.
You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it.
