More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
When the military man approaches, the world locks up its spoons and packs off its womankind.
George Bernard Shaw
The early Christian rules of life were not made to last, because the early Christians did not believe that the world itself was going to last.
George Bernard Shaw
Nothing soothes me more after a long and maddening course of pianoforte recitals than to sit and have my teeth drilled.
George Bernard Shaw
Geniuses are horrid, intolerant, easily offended, sleeplessly self-conscious men, who expect their wives to be angels with no further business in life than to pet and worship their husbands. Even at the best they are not comfortable men to live with and a perfect husband is one who is perfectly comfortable to live with.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
Though justice be Thy plea, consider this: That in the course of justice none of us should see salvation. We do pray for mercy, And that same prayer doth teach us all to render The deeds of mercy.
George Bernard Shaw
The fickleness of the women I love is only equalled by the infernal constancy of the women who love me.
George Bernard Shaw
The most intolerable pain is produced by prolonging the keenest pleasure.
George Bernard Shaw
I have defined the hundred per cent American as ninety-nine per cent an idiot.
George Bernard Shaw
When Satan makes impure verses, Allah sends a divine tune to cleanse them.
George Bernard Shaw
Civilization is a disease produced by the practice of building societies with rotten material.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
Our political experiment of democracy, the last refuge of cheap misgovernment.
George Bernard Shaw
Always strive to find out what to do by thinking, without asking anybody. If you continually do this, you will soon act like a grown-up woman. For want of doing this, a very great number of grown-up people act like children.
George Bernard Shaw
An asylum for the sane would be empty in America.
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
