Credited to Shaw in the lead in to the mockumentary C.S.A.: The Confederate States of America (2004) and other recent works, but this or slight variants of it are also sometimes attributed to W. C. Fields, Charlie Chaplin, and Oscar Wilde. It might possibly be derived from Shaw's statement in John Bull's Other Island (1907): "My way of joking is to tell the truth. It's the funniest joke in the world."
Another possibility is that it is derived from Shaw's characteristic of Mark Twain: "He has to put things in such a way as to make people who would otherwise hang him believe he is joking."

If you are going to tell people the truth, you'd better make them laugh. Otherwise, they'll kill you.

“We dance for laughter, we dance for tears, we dance for madness, we dance for fears, we dance for hopes, we dance for screams, we are the dancers, we create the dreams.”
Tancujeme pre smiech, tancujeme pre slzy, tancujeme pre šialenstvo, tancujeme pre obavy, tancujeme pre nádeje, tancujeme pre výkriky, sme tanečníci, tvoríme sny.

“The only relationship that can make both partners happy is one in which sentimentality has no place and neither partner makes any claim on the life and freedom of the other.”
Vzťah, ktorý urobí oboch partnerov šťastnými, je vzťah, v ktorom sentimentálnosť nemá miesto a žiadny z partnerov si nerobí nároky na život a slobodu toho druhého.

“I have only one friend, and that is echo. Why is it my friend? Because I love my sorrow, and echo does not take it away from me. I have only one confidant, and that is the silence of night. Why is it my confidant? Because it remains silent.”
Mám len jedného priateľa, a tým je ozvena. Prečo je to môj priateľ? Pretože milujem svoj smútok a ozvena mi ho neberie. Mám len jedného dôverníka, a tým je ticho noci. Prečo je to môj dôverník? Pretože mlčí.

Sören Kierkegaard (1813–1855) Danish philosopher and theologian, founder of Existentialism

“Don’t believe what your eyes are telling you. All they show is limitation. Look with your understanding. Find out what you already know and you will see the way to fly.”
Neverte tomu, čo vám ukazujú vaše oči. Ukazujú len obmedzenia. Skúste sa na veci pozerať s porozumením. Zistite, čo už viete, a nájdete spôsob ako lietať.

“Every one suspects himself of at least one of the cardinal virtues, and this is mine: I am one of the few honest people that I have ever known.”
Každý podozrieva sám seba aspoň z jednej základnej cnosti, a má ju túto: som jedným z mála počestných ľudí, aké som kedy poznal.
