George Bernard Shaw
A man's interest in the world is only an overflow from his interest in himself.
George Bernard Shaw
Always strive to find out what to do by thinking, without asking anybody. If you continually do this, you will soon act like a grown-up woman. For want of doing this, a very great number of grown-up people act like children.
George Bernard Shaw
What is any respectable girl brought up to do but to catch some rich man's fancy and get the benefit of his money by marrying him?--as if a marriage ceremony could make any difference in the right or wrong of the thing!
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
Those who can’t change their minds can’t change anything.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
An author who gives a manager or publisher any rights in his work except those immediately and specifically required for its publication or performance is for business purposes an imbecile.
George Bernard Shaw
The perfect love affair is one which is conducted entirely by post.
George Bernard Shaw
A modern gentleman [rich person] is necessarily the enemy of his country. Even in war he does not fight to defend it, but to prevent his power of preying on it from passing to a foreigner.
George Bernard Shaw
The thought of two thousand people crunching celery at the same time horrified me.
George Bernard Shaw
Hypocrisy ... is only bad when it is improperly used.
George Bernard Shaw
As an old soldier, I admit the cowardice: it's as universal as seasickness, and matters just as little.
George Bernard Shaw
No man ever believes that the Bible means what it says: he is always convinced that it says what he means.
George Bernard Shaw
He said that private practice in medicine ought to be put down by law. When I asked him why, he said that private doctors were ignorant licensed murders.
