Men have to do some awfully mean things to keep up their respectability.
George Bernard Shaw
I find that socialism is often misunderstood by its least intelligent supporters and opponents to mean simply unrestrained indulgence of our natural propensity to heave bricks at respectable persons.
George Bernard Shaw
It is difficult, if not impossible, for most people to think otherwise than in the fashion of their own period.
George Bernard Shaw
The real Brahms is nothing more than a sentimental voluptuary
George Bernard Shaw
HIGGINS. Have you no morals, man? DOOLITTLE [unabashed] Cant afford them, Governor. Neither could you if you was as poor as me.
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
The greatest thing in life is to die young - but delay it as long as possible.
George Bernard Shaw
Take the utmost care to get well born and well brought up.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
When a lion meets another with a louder roar, the first lion thinks the last a bore.
George Bernard Shaw
The more things a man is ashamed of, the more respectable he is.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
He who has nothing to assert has no style and can have none: he who has something to assert will go as far in power of style as its momentousness and his conviction will carry him
George Bernard Shaw
I was convinced that Ceylon is the cradle of the human race because everybody there looks an original. All other nations are obviously mass produced.
George Bernard Shaw
I never thought much of the courage of a lion tamer. Inside the cage he is at least safe from people.
George Bernard Shaw
Those who talk most about the blessings of marriage and the constancy of its vows are the very people who declare that if the chain were broken and the prisoners left free to choose, the whole social fabric would fly asunder. You cannot have the argument both ways. If the prisoner is happy, why lock him in? If he is not, why pretend that he is?
George Bernard Shaw
The truth sticks in our throats with all the sauces it is served with: it will never go down until we take it without any sauce at all.
George Bernard Shaw
He who bears the brand of Cain shall rule the earth.
George Bernard Shaw
