Bernard Shaw Quotations

Use These Bernard Shaw Quotations as Your Guiding Light

By Simran Khurana, About.com

Though he is commonly known for his sharp wit and sarcasm, I find George Bernard Shaw's words inspiring. I have been told that many entrepreneurs take Shaw's words as their guiding light.

Leadership
A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.

Vision
Better keep yourself clean and bright; you are the window through which you must see the world.

Success
Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

Life
I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake.

Leadership
Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got a hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.

Reflection
Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.

Life
Miracles, in the sense of phenomena we cannot explain, surround us on every hand: life itself is the miracle of miracles.
