More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
Give women the vote, and in five years there will be a crushing tax on bachelors.
George Bernard Shaw
The great secret, Eliza, is not having bad manners or good manners or any other particular sort of manners, but having the same manner for all human souls: in short, behaving as if you were in Heaven, where there are no thirdclass carriages, and one soul is as good as another.
George Bernard Shaw
In a hospital they throw you out into the street before you are half cured, but in a nursing home they don't let you out till you are dead.
George Bernard Shaw
The camera can represent flesh so superbly that, if I dared, I would never photograph a figure without asking that figure to take its clothes off.
George Bernard Shaw
The educated man is a greater nuisance than the uneducated one.
George Bernard Shaw
I hope you have lost your good looks, for while they last any fool can adore you, and the adoration of fools is bad for the soul. No, give me a ruined complexion and a lost figure and sixteen chins on a farmyard of Crow's feet and an obvious wig. Then you shall see me coming out strong.
George Bernard Shaw
Write your Sad times in Sand, Write your Good times in Stone.
George Bernard Shaw
In order to fully realize how bad a popular play can be, it is necessary to see it twice.
George Bernard Shaw
Freedom, my good girl, means being able to count on how other people will behave.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
The great danger of conversion in all ages has been that when the religion of the high mind is offered to the lower mind, the lower mind, feeling its fascination without understanding it, and being incapable of rising to it, drags it down to its level by degrading it.
George Bernard Shaw
All the sweetness of religion is conveyed to the world by the hands of storytellers and image-makers. Without their fictions the truths of religion would for the multitude be neither intelligible nor even apprehensible and the prophets would prophesy and the teachers teach in vain.
George Bernard Shaw
I believe in Michelangelo, Velasquez, and Rembrandt in the might of design, the mystery of color, the redemption of all things by Beauty everlasting, and the message of Art that has made these hands blessed. Amen. Amen.
George Bernard Shaw
All this struggling and striving to make the world better is a great mistake. Not that it's wrong to try to improve the world if you know how but simply because struggling and striving are the worst possible ways to go about doing anything!
George Bernard Shaw
Nothing is ever done in this world until men are prepared to kill one another if it is not done.
George Bernard Shaw
The criminal law is no use to decent people.
George Bernard Shaw
The degree of tolerance attainable at any moment depends on the strain under which society is maintaining its cohesion.
George Bernard Shaw
With the exception of capitalism, there is nothing so revolting as revolution.
George Bernard Shaw
If only for a half hour a day, a child should do something serviceable to the community
George Bernard Shaw
A man who desires to get married should know everything or nothing.
George Bernard Shaw
