George Bernard Shaw
When a bishop at the first shot abandons the worship of Christ and rallies his flock round the altar of Mars, he may be acting patriotically... but that does not justify him in pretending...that Christ is, in effect, Mars.
George Bernard Shaw
Here there is no hope, and consequently no duty, no work, nothing to be gained by praying, nothing to be lost by doing what you like. Hell, in short, is a place where you have nothing to do but amuse yourself.
George Bernard Shaw
Pasteboard pies and paper flowers are being banished from the stage by the growth of that power of accurate observation which is commonly called cynicism by those who have not got it...
George Bernard Shaw
If all the statisticians in the world were laid head to toe, they wouldn't be able to reach a conclusion
George Bernard Shaw
When it comes to the point, really bad men are just as rare as really good ones.
George Bernard Shaw
I fought linotype and montype for some time because it would not justify as well as handset could be made to do but at last, as always happens, the machine outdid the hand, and got all the best types on it.
George Bernard Shaw
An election is a moral horror, as bad as a battle except for the blood a mud bath for every soul concerned in it.
George Bernard Shaw
Spend all you have before you die, and do not outlive yourself.
George Bernard Shaw
Of the three official objects of our prison system: vengeance, deterrence, and reformation of the criminal, only one is achieved and that is the one which is nakedly abominable.
George Bernard Shaw
The criminal law is no use to decent people.
George Bernard Shaw
