More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
The popular definition of tragedy is heavy drama in which everyone is killed in the last act, comedy being light drama in which everyone is married in the last act.
George Bernard Shaw
Nobel Prize money is a life-belt thrown to a swimmer who has already reached the shore in safety.
George Bernard Shaw
There may be some doubt as to who are the best people to have charge of children, but there can be no doubt that parents are the worst.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
Doing what needs to be done may not make you happy, but it will make you great.

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

George Bernard Shaw
Vegetarians claim to be immune from most diseases but they have been known to die from time to time.
George Bernard Shaw
There is no accomplishment so easy to acquire as politeness and none more profitable.
George Bernard Shaw
A part of eugenic politics would finally land us in an extensive use of the lethal chamber. A great many people would have to be put out of existence simply because it wastes other people's time to look after them.
George Bernard Shaw
You see things and you say, ‘Why?’ But I dream things that never were and I say, ‘Why not?
George Bernard Shaw
The only time my education was interrupted was when I was in school.
George Bernard Shaw
For four wicked centuries the world has dreamed this foolish dream of efficiency and the end is not yet. But the end will come.
George Bernard Shaw
I never expect a soldier to think.
George Bernard Shaw
You may well ask me why...I took the time to write [books]. I can only reply that I do not know. There was no why about it. I had to: that was all.
George Bernard Shaw
People exaggerate the value of things they haven't got everybody worships truth and unselfishness because they have no experience with them
