George Bernard Shaw
The shot Irishmen will now take their places beside Emmet and the Manchester Martyrs in Ireland, and beside the heroes of Poland and Sérbia and Belgium in Europe and nothing in heaven or earth can prevent it.

George Bernard Shaw
Those who understand the steam engine and the electric telegraph spend their lives in trying to replace them with something better.
George Bernard Shaw
A serious illness or a death advertises the doctor exactly as a hanging advertises the barrister who defended the person hanged.
George Bernard Shaw
The practical question, then, is what to do with the children. Tolerate them at home we will not.

George Bernard Shaw
There is no sincerer love than the love of food.
George Bernard Shaw
Which painting in the National Gallery would I save if there was a fire? The one nearest the door of course.
George Bernard Shaw
Gambling promises the poor what property performs for the rich-something for nothing.
George Bernard Shaw
It is a curious sensation: the sort of pain that goes mercifully beyond our powers of feeling. When your heart is broken, your boats are burned: nothing matters any more. It is the end of happiness and the beginning of peace.
George Bernard Shaw
Life would be tolerable but for its amusements.
George Bernard Shaw
All great truths begin as blasphemies.
George Bernard Shaw
I hope you have lost your good looks, for while they last any fool can adore you, and the adoration of fools is bad for the soul.
George Bernard Shaw
A drama critic is a man who leaves no turn unstoned.
George Bernard Shaw
I'm not a teacher: only a fellow traveler of whom you asked the way. I pointed ahead - ahead of myself as well as you.
George Bernard Shaw
