More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
When you find something funny search it for hidden truth.
George Bernard Shaw
Such poverty as we have today in all our great cities degrades the poor, and infects with its degradation the whole neighborhood in which they live. And whatever can degrade a neighborhood can degrade a country and a continent and finally the whole civilized world, which is only a large neighborhood.
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
I often quote myself. It adds spice to my conversation.
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
I have found, after a good deal of consideration, that the best place to seek God is in a garden. You can dig for Him here.
George Bernard Shaw
Now of all the idealist abominations that make society pestiferous I doubt if there be any so mean as that of forcing self-sacrifice on a woman under the pretense that she likes it.
George Bernard Shaw
Taxes are the chief business of a conqueror of the world.
George Bernard Shaw

The British soldier can stand up to anything except the British War Office.
George Bernard Shaw
There is nothing on earth more exquisite than a bonny book, with well-placed columns of rich black writing in beautiful borders, and illuminated pictures cunningly inset. But nowadays, instead of looking at books, people read them. A book might as well be one of those orders for bacon and bran.
George Bernard Shaw
If you must hold yourself up to your children as an object lesson, hold yourself up as a warning and not as an example.
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
Men are always thinking that they are going to do something grandly wicked to their enemies but when it comes to the point, really bad men are just as rare as really good ones.
George Bernard Shaw
Reading made Don Quixote a gentleman, but believing what he read made him mad.
George Bernard Shaw
Be as romantic as you please about love ... but you mustn't be romantic about money.
George Bernard Shaw
Everybody who does not live in a prostitute's bed and on a diet of cocaine snow is called an ascetic nowadays.
George Bernard Shaw
Laws, religions, creeds, and systems of ethics, instead of making society better than its best unit, make it worse than its average unit, because they are never up to date.
George Bernard Shaw
The most anxious man in a prison is the governor.
George Bernard Shaw
