More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
Hypocrisy ... is only bad when it is improperly used.
George Bernard Shaw
What is both surprising and delightful is that the spectators are allowed, and even expected, to join in the vocal part of the game...There is no reason why the field should not try to put the batsman off his stroke at the critical moment by neatly timed disparagements of his wife's fidelity and his mother's respectability.
George Bernard Shaw
A revolutionist is one who desires to discard the existing social order and try another.
George Bernard Shaw
The British soldier can stand up to anything except the British War Office.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
I have defined the hundred per cent American as ninety-nine per cent an idiot.
George Bernard Shaw
The more reasonable a student was in mathematics, the more unreasonable she was in the affairs of real life, concerning which fewtrustworthy postulates have yet been ascertained.
George Bernard Shaw
In the arts of life main invents nothing but in the arts of death he outdoes Nature herself, and produces by chemistry and machinery all the slaughter of plague, pestilence and famine. ... There is nothing in Man's industrial machinery but his greed and sloth: his heart is in his weapons.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
Woman's happiness begins with her first love and ends about then
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
Whether you think Jesus was God or not, you must admit he was a first-rate political economist.
George Bernard Shaw
Fear is choosing the safe course
George Bernard Shaw
Laws, religions, creeds, and systems of ethics, instead of making society better than its best unit, make it worse than its average unit, because they are never up to date.
George Bernard Shaw
How can you dare teach a man to read until you've taught him everything else first?
George Bernard Shaw
Nationalism must now be added to the refuse pile of superstitions. We are now citizens of the world, and the man who divides the race into elect Irishmen and reprobate foreign devils (especially Englishmen) had better live on the Blaskets where he can admire himself without disturbance.
George Bernard Shaw
We know there is intention and purpose in the universe, because there is intention and purpose in us.
George Bernard Shaw
Better see rightly on a pound a week than squint on a million.
George Bernard Shaw
Social questions are too sectional, too topical, too temporal to move a man to the mighty effort which is needed to produce greatpoetry. Prison reform may nerve Charles Reade to produce an effective and businesslike prose melodrama but it could never produce Hamlet, Faust, or Peer Gynt.
George Bernard Shaw
