More quotes by George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
Here there is no hope, and consequently no duty, no work, nothing to be gained by praying, nothing to be lost by doing what you like. Hell, in short, is a place where you have nothing to do but amuse yourself.
George Bernard Shaw
The Englishmen is at his best on the links and at his worst in the Cabinet.
George Bernard Shaw
It is long and hard and painful to create life: it is short and easy to steal the life others have made.
George Bernard Shaw
I loathe the mess of mean superstitions and misunderstood prophecies which is still rammed down the throats of children under the name of Christianity.
George Bernard Shaw
Man is the only animals of which I am thoroughly and cravenly afraid.

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