More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
When people shake their heads because we are living in a restless age, ask them how they would like to life in a stationary one, and do without change
George Bernard Shaw
We know now that the soul is the body, and the body the soul. They tell us they are different because they want to persuade us that we can keep our souls if we let them make slaves of our bodies.
George Bernard Shaw
Modern poverty is not the poverty that was blest in the Sermon on the Mount.
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.
George Bernard Shaw
You use a glass mirror to see your face you use works of art to see your soul.
George Bernard Shaw
When I was young, I observed that nine out of ten things I did were failures. So I did ten times more work.
George Bernard Shaw
Cruelty would be delicious if one could only find some sort of cruelty that didn't really hurt.
George Bernard Shaw
Every child has a right to its own bent. . . . It has a right to find its own way and go its own way, whether that way seems wise or foolish to others, exactly as an adult has. It has a right to privacy as to its own doings and its own affairs as much as if it were its own father.
George Bernard Shaw
The world is populated in the main by people who should not exist
George Bernard Shaw
Man can climb to the highest summits, but he cannot dwell there long.
George Bernard Shaw
If you injure your neighbour, better not do it by halves.
George Bernard Shaw
There is only one belief that can rob death of its sting and the grave of its victory. For without that you cannot be born again.
George Bernard Shaw
Which painting in the National Gallery would I save if there was a fire? The one nearest the door of course.
George Bernard Shaw
I find that socialism is often misunderstood by its least intelligent supporters and opponents to mean simply unrestrained indulgence of our natural propensity to heave bricks at respectable persons.
George Bernard Shaw
When a man wants to murder a tiger he calls it sport when a tiger wants to murder him he calls it ferocity.
George Bernard Shaw
You can feel nothing but a torment, and believe nothing but a lie. You will not raise your head to look at all the miracles of life that surround you but you will run ten miles to see a fight or a death.
George Bernard Shaw
God made the world as an artist and that is why the world must learn from its artists.
George Bernard Shaw
My friend, when a man has anything to tell in this world, the difficulty is not to make him tell it, but to prevent him from telling it too often.
George Bernard Shaw
Christianity as a specific doctrine was slain with Jesus, suddenly and utterly. He was hardly cold in his grave, or high in his heaven (as you please), before the apostles dragged the tradition of him down to the level of the thing it has remained ever since.
George Bernard Shaw
Those who won't hesitate to vivisect, won't hesitate to lie about it as well.
George Bernard Shaw
