More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
I'm sick of all the reasonable people: they see all the reasons for doing nothing
George Bernard Shaw
Forgive him, for he believes that the customs of his tribe are the laws of nature!
George Bernard Shaw
When you prevent me from doing anything I want to do, that is persecution when I prevent you from doing anything you want to do, that is law, order, and morals.
George Bernard Shaw
My reputation grows with every failure.
George Bernard Shaw
I have very carefully studied Islam and the life of its Prophet (PBUH). I have done so both as a student of history and as a critic. And I have come to conclusion that Muhammad (PBUH) was indeed a great man and a deliverer and benefactor of mankind which was till then writhing under the most agonising Pain.
George Bernard Shaw
A man's own self is the last person to believe in him, and is harder to cheat than the rest of the world.
George Bernard Shaw
It is a curious sensation: the sort of pain that goes mercifully beyond our powers of feeling. When your heart is broken, your boats are burned: nothing matters any more. It is the end of happiness and the beginning of peace.
George Bernard Shaw
If only for a half hour a day, a child should do something serviceable to the community
George Bernard Shaw

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
There are only two classes in good society in England: the equestrian classes and the neurotic classes.
George Bernard Shaw
Men get tired of everything, of heaven no less than of hell and that all history is nothing but a record of the oscillations of the world between these two extremes. An epoch is but a swing of the pendulum and each generation thinks the world is progressing because it is always moving.
George Bernard Shaw
The real Brahms is nothing more than a sentimental voluptuary. rather tiresomely addicted to dressing himself up as Handel or Beethoven and making a prolonged and intolerable noise.
George Bernard Shaw
I believe in Michelangelo, Velasquez, and Rembrandt in the might of design, the mystery of color, the redemption of all things by Beauty everlasting, and the message of Art that has made these hands blessed. Amen. Amen.
George Bernard Shaw
A lifetime of happiness! No man alive could bear it: it would be hell on earth.
George Bernard Shaw
I never thought much of the courage of a lion tamer. Inside the cage he is at least safe from people.
George Bernard Shaw
The only sensible person is my tailor. He measures me anew each time he sees me.
George Bernard Shaw
A man's interest in the world is only an overflow from his interest in himself.
George Bernard Shaw
We are sick of war, we don't want to fight, And yet we gorge ourselves upon the dead.
George Bernard Shaw
Whisky is liquid sunshine.
George Bernard Shaw
