GBS is one of my favorites, and his "Notes for Revolutionaries" from Man and Superman is the source of some of the most famous quotes in the world, though, most people don't know it. I particularly like, "Those who can, do; those who can't teach."
It is also the source of the misquoted, "the road to hell is paved with good intentions," which is prefaced by, (and this is correct, I beleive), "all men mean well."
