More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
Men trifle with their business and their politics but never trifle with their games. It brings truth home to them. They cannot pretend they have won when they have lost nor that they had a magnificent drive when they foozled it. The Englishman is at his best on the links and at his worst in the Cabinet.
George Bernard Shaw
I don't like the idea of killing my fellow creatures in order to eat their dead bodies.
George Bernard Shaw
You're only a beginner and what you think is love, and interest, and all that, is not real love at all: three quarters of it is only unsatisfied curiosity.
George Bernard Shaw
I can't talk religion to a man with bodily hunger in his eyes.
George Bernard Shaw
Nothing is ever done in this world until men are prepared to kill one another if it is not done.
George Bernard Shaw
Happiness and Beauty are by-products.
George Bernard Shaw
Stop being Jews and start being human beings.
George Bernard Shaw
I finished my first book seventy-six years ago. I offered it to every publisher on the English-speaking earth I had ever heard of. Their refusals were unanimous: and it did not get into print until, fifty years later publishers would publish anything that had my name on it.
George Bernard Shaw
If we have come to think that the nursery and the kitchen are the natural sphere of a woman, we have done so exactly as English children come to think that a cage is the natural sphere of a parrot: because they have never seen one anywhere else.
George Bernard Shaw
If you eliminate smoking and gambling, you will be amazed to find that almost all an Englishman's pleasures can be, and mostly are, shared by his dog.
George Bernard Shaw
Nothing soothes me more after a long and maddening course of pianoforte recitals than to sit and have my teeth drilled.
George Bernard Shaw
A vegetarian is not a person who lives on vegetables, any more than a Catholic is a person who lives on cats.
George Bernard Shaw
If there is anything I hate in a woman, it's want of character.
George Bernard Shaw
This is the true joy of life-the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one, the being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown to the scrap-heap the being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish clod of ailments and grievances.
George Bernard Shaw
All progress depends upon the unreasonable person.
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
Do not try to live forever. You will not succeed.
George Bernard Shaw
As people get their opinions so largely from the newspapers they read... But the Press is not free, the newspapers are owned by rich men.
George Bernard Shaw
Property, said Proudhon, is theft. This is the only perfect truism that has been uttered on the subject.
George Bernard Shaw
Most married couples spend the whole day apart, the woman in the house, the man in the office or study or workshop.
George Bernard Shaw
