More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
I have very carefully studied Islam and the life of its Prophet (PBUH). I have done so both as a student of history and as a critic. And I have come to conclusion that Muhammad (PBUH) was indeed a great man and a deliverer and benefactor of mankind which was till then writhing under the most agonising Pain.
George Bernard Shaw
A family is a tyranny ruled over by it's weakest member.
George Bernard Shaw
Do not do unto others as you expect they should do unto you. Their tastes may not be the same.
George Bernard Shaw

When it comes to getting a move on you are all of the same opinion: stop it, flog it, hang it, dynamite it, stamp it out.
George Bernard Shaw
It is nearly 50 years since I was assured by a conclave of doctors that if I did not eat meat I should die of starvation.
George Bernard Shaw
Hypocrisy ... is only bad when it is improperly used.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
The truth sticks in our throats with all the sauces it is served with: it will never go down until we take it without any sauce at all.
George Bernard Shaw
The more things a man is ashamed of, the more respectable he is.
George Bernard Shaw
No king on earth is as safe in his job as a Trade Union official. There is only one thing that can get him sacked and that is drink. Not even that, as long as he doesn't actually fall down.
George Bernard Shaw
The possibilities are numerous once we decide to act and not react.
George Bernard Shaw
After studying the Hungarian language for years, I can confidently conclude that had Hungarian been my mother tongue, it would have been more precious. Simply because through this extraordinary, ancient and powerful language it is possible to precisely describe the tiniest differences and the most secretive tremors of emotions.
George Bernard Shaw
I am highly susceptible to the force of all truly religious music, especially to the music of my own church, the church of Shelley, Michelangelo, and Beethoven.
George Bernard Shaw
All classes in proportion to their lack of travel and familiarity with foreign literature are bellicose, prejudiced against foreigners, fond of fighting as a cruel sport - in short, dog-like in their notions of foreign policy.
George Bernard Shaw
When a heretic wishes to avoid martyrdom he speaks of Orthodoxy, True and False and demonstrates that the True is his heresy.
George Bernard Shaw
You accepted Allah or you had your throat cut by someone who did accept him, and who went to Paradise for having sent you to Hell.
George Bernard Shaw
If you take too long in deciding what to do with your life, you'll find you've done it.
George Bernard Shaw
