George Bernard Shaw
A family is a tyranny ruled over by it's weakest member.
George Bernard Shaw
Nietzche . . . he was a confirmed Life Force worshipper. It was he who raked up the Superman, who is as old as Prometheus and the 20th century will run after this newest of the old crazes when it gets tired of the world, the flesh, and your humble servant.
George Bernard Shaw
Oh, well, if you want original conversations, you'd better go and talk to yourself.
George Bernard Shaw
Shall I turn up the light for you? No, give me deeper darkness. Money is not made in the light.
George Bernard Shaw
Money is a most important thing in the world.
George Bernard Shaw
I hope you have lost your good looks, for while they last any fool can adore you, and the adoration of fools is bad for the soul. No, give me a ruined complexion and a lost figure and sixteen chins on a farmyard of Crow's feet and an obvious wig. Then you shall see me coming out strong.
George Bernard Shaw
There is no accomplishment so easy to acquire as politeness and none more profitable.
George Bernard Shaw
Virtue consists, not in abstaining from vice, but in not desiring it.
George Bernard Shaw
What is both surprising and delightful is that the spectators are allowed, and even expected, to join in the vocal part of the game...There is no reason why the field should not try to put the batsman off his stroke at the critical moment by neatly timed disparagements of his wife's fidelity and his mother's respectability.
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
The real moment of success is not the moment apparent to the crowd.
George Bernard Shaw
Do not mistake your objection to defeat for an objection to fighting, your objection to being a slave for an objection to slavery, your objection to not being as rich as your neighbor for an objection to poverty. The cowardly, the insubordinate, and the envious share your objections.
George Bernard Shaw
A genius is a person who is seeing further and probing deeper than other people has a different set of ethical valuations from their and has energy enough to give effect to this extra vision and its valuations in whatever manner best suits his or her
George Bernard Shaw
No man who is occupied in doing a very difficult thing, and doing it very well, ever loses his self-respect.
George Bernard Shaw
If you cannot attain knowledge without torturing a dog, you must do without knowledge.
George Bernard Shaw
There is no satisfaction in hanging a man who does not object to it.
George Bernard Shaw
Money is the counter that enables life to be lived socially it is life as truly as sovereigns and banknotes are money.
George Bernard Shaw
A man who has no office to go, to I don't care who he is, is a trial of which you can have no conception.
George Bernard Shaw
How can you dare teach a man to read until you've taught him everything else first?
George Bernard Shaw
