More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
The harder I work the more I live.
George Bernard Shaw
Communism, being the lay form of Catholicism, and indeed meaning the same thing, has never had any lack of chaplains.
George Bernard Shaw
In heaven an angel is nobody in particular.
George Bernard Shaw
It is not that I am so clever it is that everyone else is so stupid.
George Bernard Shaw
I sold flowers. I didn't sell myself. Now you've made a lady of me I'm not fit to sell anything else.
George Bernard Shaw
It is doubtless wise, when a reform is introduced, to try to persuade the British public that it is not a reform at all but appearances must be kept up to some extent at least.
George Bernard Shaw
We are the living graves of murdered beasts, slaughtered to satisfy our appetites. How can we hope in this world to attain the peace we say we are so anxious for?
George Bernard Shaw
I do not want actors and actresses to understand my plays. That is not necessary. If they will only pronounce the correct sounds I can guarantee the results.
George Bernard Shaw
To me the sole hope of human salvation lies in teaching.
George Bernard Shaw
Physically there is nothing to distinguish human society from the farm-yard except that children are more troublesome and costly than chickens and calves and that men and women are not so completely enslaved as farm stock.
George Bernard Shaw
Liberty is the breath of life to nations.
George Bernard Shaw
Most of the money given by rich people in charity is made up of conscience money, ransom, political bribery, and bids for titles.... One buys moral credit by signing a cheque, which is easier than turning a prayer wheel.
George Bernard Shaw
I can't control what life did to me, but I can control how I react. Therein lies the difference.
George Bernard Shaw
The roulette table pays nobody except him that keeps it. Nevertheless a passion for gaming is common, though a passion for keeping roulette tables is unknown.
George Bernard Shaw
A dinner! How horrible! I am to be made the pretext for killing all those wretched animals and birds, and fish! Thank you for nothing. Now if it were to be a fast instead of a feast say a solemn three days' abstention from corpses in my honour, I could at least pretend to believe that it was disinterested. Blood sacrifices are not in my line
George Bernard Shaw
The fickleness of the women I love is only equalled by the infernal constancy of the women who love me.
George Bernard Shaw
A thing that nobody believes cannot be proved too often.
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
If the lesser mind could measure the greater as a foot-rule can measure a pyramid, there would be finality in universal suffrage. As it is, the political problem remains unsolved.
George Bernard Shaw
History, sir, will tell lies as usual.
George Bernard Shaw
