More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
The criminal law is no use to decent people.
George Bernard Shaw
The seven deadly sins... food, clothing, firing, rent, taxes, respectability and children. Nothing can lift those seven millstones from Man's neck but money and the spirit cannot soar until the millstones are lifted.
George Bernard Shaw
When a man says money can do anything, that settles it: he hasn't got any.
George Bernard Shaw
No severity of punishment deters when detection is uncertain, as it always must be.
George Bernard Shaw
Heartbreak is life educating us.
George Bernard Shaw
We all go about longing for love: it is the first need of our natures, the loudest cry of our hearts.
George Bernard Shaw
My heart, my heart, be whole and free: Love is thine only enemy.
George Bernard Shaw
Our lives are shaped not as much by our experiences as by our expectations.
George Bernard Shaw
You propound a complicated arithmetical problem: say cubing a number containing four digits. Give me a slate and half an hour's time, and I can produce a wrong answer.
George Bernard Shaw
The joy in life is to be used for a purpose. I want to be used up when I die.
George Bernard Shaw
Any belief worth having must survive doubt
George Bernard Shaw
Brigham Young lived to become immortal in history as an American Moses by leading his people through the wilderness into an unpromised land.
George Bernard Shaw
We are made wise not by the recollection of our past, but by the responsibility for our future.
George Bernard Shaw
Wicked people means people who have no love: therefore, they have no shame. They have the power to ask love because the don't need it: they have the power to offer it because they have none to give.
George Bernard Shaw
If you strike a child, take care that you strike it in anger, even at the risk of maiming it for life. A blow in cold blood neither can nor should be forgiven.
George Bernard Shaw
Virtue consists, not in abstaining from vice, but in not desiring it.
George Bernard Shaw
We educate one another and we cannot do this if half of us consider the other half not good enough to talk to.
George Bernard Shaw
It exasperated her to think that the dungeon in which she had languished for so many unhappy years had been unlocked all the time, and that the impulses she had so carefully struggled with and stifled for the sake of keeping well with society, were precisely those by which alone she could have come into any sort of sincere human contact.
George Bernard Shaw
All dress is fancy dress, is it not, except our natural skins?
George Bernard Shaw
Though the Life Force supplies us with its own purpose, it has no other brains to work with than those it has painfully and imperfectly evolved in our heads.
George Bernard Shaw
