More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
Jesus remains unshaken as the practical man and we stand exposed as the fools, the blunderers, the unpractical visionaries.
George Bernard Shaw
Geniuses are horrid, intolerant, easily offended, sleeplessly self-conscious men, who expect their wives to be angels with no further business in life than to pet and worship their husbands. Even at the best they are not comfortable men to live with and a perfect husband is one who is perfectly comfortable to live with.
George Bernard Shaw
Schools and schoolmasters, as we have them today, are not popular as places of education and teachers, but rather prisons and turnkeys in which children are kept to prevent them disturbing and chaperoning their parent.
George Bernard Shaw
There is nothing in religion but fiction.
George Bernard Shaw
Liberty is the breath of life to nations.
George Bernard Shaw
People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances.
George Bernard Shaw
The only time my education was interrupted was when I was in school.
George Bernard Shaw
The best reformers the world has ever seen are those who commence on themselves.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
If more than 10% of the people like a painting, you can be sure it's bad.
George Bernard Shaw
It is the mark of a truly intelligent person to be moved by statistics.
George Bernard Shaw
Political necessities sometime turn out to be political mistakes.
George Bernard Shaw
Popular Christianity has for its emblem a gibbet, for its chief sensation a sanginary execution after torture, for its central mystery is an insane vengeance bought off by a trumpery expiation. But there is a nobler and profounder Christianity which affirms the sacred mystery of equality and forbids the glaring futility and folly of vengeance.
George Bernard Shaw
He who confuses political liberty with freedom and political equality with similarity has never thought for five minutes about either.
George Bernard Shaw
I am highly susceptible to the force of all truly religious music, especially to the music of my own church, the church of Shelley, Michelangelo, and Beethoven.
George Bernard Shaw
Bourgeois morality is largely a system of making cheap virtues a cloak for expensive vices.
George Bernard Shaw
To me the sole hope of human salvation lies in teaching.
George Bernard Shaw
