George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
Never waste jealousy on a real man: it is the imaginary man that supplants us all in the long run.
George Bernard Shaw
No community has ever yet passed beyond the initial phases in which its pugnacity and fanaticism enabled it to found a nation, and its cupidity to establish and develop a commercial civilization.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
When our relatives are at home, we have to think of all their good points or it would be impossible to endure them.
George Bernard Shaw
I dread success. To have succeeded is to have finished one's business on earth, like the male spider who is killed by the female the moment he has succeeded in his courtship. I like the state of continual becoming, with a goal in front and not behind.
George Bernard Shaw
Beware of false knowledge it is more dangerous than ignorance.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
The educated man is a greater nuisance than the uneducated one.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
Wicked people means people who have no love: therefore, they have no shame. They have the power to ask love because the don't need it: they have the power to offer it because they have none to give.
George Bernard Shaw
If parents would only realize how they bore their children.
George Bernard Shaw
Marriage is an alliance entered into by a man who can't sleep with the window shut, and a woman who can't sleep with the window open.
George Bernard Shaw
It is ridiculous to say that art has nothing to do with morality. What is true is that the artist's business is not that of the policeman.
George Bernard Shaw
He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches.
George Bernard Shaw
Self-denial is not a virtue it is only the effect of prudence on rascality.
George Bernard Shaw
