More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
Social questions are too sectional, too topical, too temporal to move a man to the mighty effort which is needed to produce greatpoetry. Prison reform may nerve Charles Reade to produce an effective and businesslike prose melodrama but it could never produce Hamlet, Faust, or Peer Gynt.
George Bernard Shaw
If you leave your art, the world will beat you back to it. The world has not an ambition worth sharing, or a prize worth handling.
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
Though all society is founded on intolerance, all improvement is founded on tolerance.
George Bernard Shaw
My opportunities were still there, nay, they multiplied tenfold but the strength and youth to cope with them began to fail, and to need eking out with the shifty cunning of experience.
George Bernard Shaw
Liquor is the chloroform which enables the poor man to endure the painful operation of living.
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
Morals are a luxury of the rich.
George Bernard Shaw
Only on paper has humanity yet achieved glory, beauty, truth, knowledge, virtue, and abiding love.
George Bernard Shaw
When God created man and woman, he did not take a patent. That's why any imbecile has been able to do so ever since.
George Bernard Shaw
There is nothing in religion but fiction.
George Bernard Shaw
Don't waste time collecting other people's autographs rather devote it to making your own autograph worth collecting.
George Bernard Shaw
Write your Sad times in Sand, Write your Good times in Stone.
George Bernard Shaw
Those who are looking for paradise on Earth should come and see Dubrovnik.
George Bernard Shaw
The poor silly-clever Irishman takes off his hat to God's Englishman.
George Bernard Shaw
A critic recently described me, with deadly acuteness, as having 'a kindly dislike of my fellow-creatures.' Perhaps dread would have been nearer the mark than dislike for man is the only animal of which I am thoroughly and cravenly afraid.
George Bernard Shaw
It's a pity youth is wasted on the young.
George Bernard Shaw
Style is effectiveness of assertion.
George Bernard Shaw
A man thinking or working is always alone, let him be where he will.
George Bernard Shaw
When a bishop at the first shot abandons the worship of Christ and rallies his flock round the altar of Mars, he may be acting patriotically... but that does not justify him in pretending...that Christ is, in effect, Mars.
George Bernard Shaw
