More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
I dislike feeling at home when I am abroad.
George Bernard Shaw
Happiness and Beauty are by-products.
George Bernard Shaw
It is doubtless wise, when a reform is introduced, to try to persuade the British public that it is not a reform at all but appearances must be kept up to some extent at least.
George Bernard Shaw
For four wicked centuries the world has dreamed this foolish dream of efficiency and the end is not yet. But the end will come.
George Bernard Shaw
The goal of an artist is to create the definitive work that cannot be surpassed.
George Bernard Shaw
We have in England a curious belief in first-rate people, meaning all the people we do not know and this consoles us for the undeniable second-rateness of the people we do know.
George Bernard Shaw
If you injure your neighbour, better not do it by halves.
George Bernard Shaw
Marriage is good enough for the lower classes: they have facilities for desertion that are denied to us.
George Bernard Shaw
Every girl has a right to be loved.
George Bernard Shaw
I lay my eternal curse on whomsoever shall now or at any time hereafter make schoolbooks of my works and make me hated as Shakespeare is hated. My plays were not designed as instruments of torture. All the schools that lust after them get this answer, and will never get any other.
George Bernard Shaw
While we have prisons it matters little which of us occupy the cells.
George Bernard Shaw
Opera is when a tenor and soprano want to make love, but are prevented from doing so by a baritone.
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
Not everybody is strong enough to endure life without an anesthetic. Drink probably averts more gross crime than it causes.
George Bernard Shaw
You propound a complicated arithmetical problem: say cubing a number containing four digits. Give me a slate and half an hour's time, and I can produce a wrong answer.
George Bernard Shaw
I was a cannibal for twenty-five years. For the rest I have been a vegetarian.
George Bernard Shaw
My friend, when a man has anything to tell in this world, the difficulty is not to make him tell it, but to prevent him from telling it too often.
George Bernard Shaw
Don't order any black things. Rejoice in his memory and be radiant: leave grief to the children. Wear violet and purple. Be patient with the poor people who will snivel: they don't know and they think they will live for ever, which makes death a division instead of a bond.
George Bernard Shaw
I often quote myself. It adds spice to my conversation.
George Bernard Shaw
The surest way to ruin a man who doesn't know how to handle money is to give him some.
George Bernard Shaw
