More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
An idea that no one believes can not be proved too often.
George Bernard Shaw
This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one.
George Bernard Shaw
We must all share in the evils of the world or move to another planet.
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
You are all fundamentalists with a top dressing of science. That is why you are the stupidest of conservatives and reactionists in politics and the most bigoted of obstructionists in science itself. When it comes to getting a move on you are all of the same opinion: stop it, flog it, hang it, dynamite it, stamp it out.
George Bernard Shaw
You accepted Allah or you had your throat cut by someone who did accept him, and who went to Paradise for having sent you to Hell.
George Bernard Shaw
You can feel nothing but a torment, and believe nothing but a lie. You will not raise your head to look at all the miracles of life that surround you but you will run ten miles to see a fight or a death.
George Bernard Shaw
When a prisoner sees the door of his dungeon open, he dashes for it without stopping to think where he shall get his dinner outside.
George Bernard Shaw
Give a man health and a course to steer, and he'll never stop to trouble about whether he's happy or not.
George Bernard Shaw
The censorship method ... is that of handing the job over to some frail and erring mortal man, and making him omnipotent on the assumption that his official status will make him infallible and omniscient.
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
Do not do unto others as you expect they should do unto you. Their tastes may not be the same.
George Bernard Shaw
I have my own soul. My own spark of divine fire.
George Bernard Shaw
Life is a first draft... with NO rewrite.
George Bernard Shaw
You don't learn to hold your own in the world by standing on guard, but by attacking, and getting well hammered yourself.
George Bernard Shaw
I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it.
George Bernard Shaw
When commenting on the turmoil and disorder of the world, If the other planets are inhabited, they must be using this earth as their insane asylum.
George Bernard Shaw
This souls'prison we call England.
George Bernard Shaw
When the military man approaches, the world locks up its spoons and packs off its womankind.
George Bernard Shaw
A socialist is somebody who doesn't have anything, and is ready to divide it up equally among everybody.
George Bernard Shaw
