More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
Anarchism is a game at which the police can beat you.
George Bernard Shaw
Geniuses are horrid, intolerant, easily offended, sleeplessly self-conscious men, who expect their wives to be angels with no further business in life than to pet and worship their husbands. Even at the best they are not comfortable men to live with and a perfect husband is one who is perfectly comfortable to live with.
George Bernard Shaw
I have defined the hundred per cent American as ninety-nine per cent an idiot.
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
Why not give Christianity a trial?
George Bernard Shaw
Cruelty must be whitewashed by a moral excuse, and pretense of reluctance.
George Bernard Shaw
The sound body is the product of the sound mind.
George Bernard Shaw
The great secret, Eliza, is not having bad manners or good manners or any other particular sort of manners, but having the same manner for all human souls: in short, behaving as if you were in Heaven, where there are no thirdclass carriages, and one soul is as good as another.
George Bernard Shaw
Imagination is the beginning of creation. You imagine what you desire, you will what you imagine and at last you create what you will.
George Bernard Shaw
You propound a complicated arithmetical problem: say cubing a number containing four digits. Give me a slate and half an hour's time, and I can produce a wrong answer.
George Bernard Shaw
If I refuse to allow my leg to be amputated, its mortification and my death may prove that I was wrong but if I let the leg go, nobody can ever prove that it would not have mortified had I been obstinate. Operation is therefore the safe side for the surgeon as well as the lucrative side.
George Bernard Shaw
In a battle all you need to make you fight is a little hot blood and the knowledge that it's more dangerous to lose than to win.
George Bernard Shaw
English is the easiest language to speak badly.
George Bernard Shaw
We educate one another and we cannot do this if half of us consider the other half not good enough to talk to.
George Bernard Shaw
The more things a man is ashamed of, the more respectable he is.
George Bernard Shaw
Every person who has mastered a profession is a skeptic concerning it.
George Bernard Shaw
The conversion of a savage to Christianity is the conversion of Christianity to savagery.
George Bernard Shaw
Every doctor will allow a colleague to decimate a whole countryside sooner than violate the bond of professional etiquette by giving him away.
George Bernard Shaw
We should find ourselves committed to killing a great many people whom we now leave living, and to leave living a great many people whom we at present kill. We should have to get rid of all ideas about capital punishment.
George Bernard Shaw
Happiness and Beauty are by-products.
George Bernard Shaw
