3 George Bernard Shaw Quotes on Experience

George Bernard Shaw quotes on experience

100. Well, well, go your way, Senor Don Juan. I prefer to be my own master and not the tool of any blundering universal force. I know that beauty is good to look at; that music is good to hear; that love is good to feel; and that they are all good to think about and talk about. I know that to be well exercised in these sensations, emotions, and studies is to be a refined and cultivated being. Whatever they may say of me in churches on earth, I know that it is universally admitted in good society that the prince of Darkness is a gentleman; and that is enough for me.

113. Men are wise in proportion, not to their experience, but to their capacity for experience.

151. You don't learn to hold your own in the world by standing on guard, but by attacking, and getting well hammered yourself.
