More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
If you injure your neighbour, better not do it by halves.
George Bernard Shaw
The plain working truth is that it is not only good for people to be shocked occasionally, but absolutely necessary to the progress of society that they should be shocked pretty often.
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
Life levels all men. Death reveals the eminent.
George Bernard Shaw
The notion that disarmament can put a stop to war is contradicted by the nearest dogfight.
George Bernard Shaw
All great art and literature is propaganda.
George Bernard Shaw
Discussing vaccination with a doctor is like discussing vegetarianism with a butcher.
George Bernard Shaw
Your father is a fool skin deep but you are a fool to your very marrow.
George Bernard Shaw
Journalists are too poorly paid in this country to know anything that is fit for publication.
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
If in the library of your house you do not have the works of the ancient Greek writers, then you live in a house with no light.
George Bernard Shaw
There is only one person an English girl hates more than she hates her elder sister and that is her mother.
George Bernard Shaw
A Native American elder once described his own inner struggles in this manner: Inside of me there are two dogs. One of the dogs is mean and evil. The other dog is good. The mean dog fights the good dog all the time. When asked which dog wins, he reflected for a moment and replied, The one I feed the most.
George Bernard Shaw
Time enough to think of the future when you haven't any future to think of.
George Bernard Shaw
Our lives are shaped not as much by our experiences as by our expectations.
George Bernard Shaw
I sold flowers. I didn't sell myself. Now you've made a lady of me I'm not fit to sell anything else.
George Bernard Shaw
If you would stick to the concrete, and put your discoveries in the form of entertaining anecdotes about your adventures with women, your conversation would be easier to follow.
George Bernard Shaw
Men are wise in proportion, not to their experience, but to their capacity for experience.
George Bernard Shaw
If a woman rebels against high-heeled shoes, she should take care to do it in a very smart hat
George Bernard Shaw
Have you no morals, man?' 'Can't afford them,Governor.
George Bernard Shaw
