Introduction
George Bernard Shaw is one of the most famous dramatists, critics, and social reformers. Having been brought up in an atmosphere of genteel poverty, he made his way up the social ladder and enabled himself to write some of the best English plays which have since then adorned the world literature.
His witty remarks and words of wisdom are not unknown to anyone. He could speak on almost any subject with the same ease. The hidden humor in his thoughts happens to be highly noticeable. In this collection, we have included some of his most admirable thoughts. They are not only inspiring and motivating, but also full of wisdom.
