Meandering about . . .

Today is the birthday of George Bernard Shaw (July 26, 1856 – November 2, 1950), writer.

"The liar's punishment is, not in the least that he is not believed, but that he cannot believe any one else."- George Bernard Shaw

"I hear you say Why? Always Why? You see things; and you say Why? But I dream things that never were; and I say Why not?" - George Bernard Shaw

"The worst sin towards our fellow creatures is not to hate them, but to be indifferent to them: that's the essence of inhumanity." - George Bernard Shaw

"There is only one religion, though there are a hundred versions of it." - George Bernard Shaw

"The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place." - George Bernard Shaw
