More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
Money is a most important thing in the world.
George Bernard Shaw
If we have come to think that the nursery and the kitchen are the natural sphere of a woman, we have done so exactly as English children come to think that a cage is the natural sphere of a parrot: because they have never seen one anywhere else.
George Bernard Shaw
There is no satisfaction in hanging a man who does not object to it.
George Bernard Shaw
It is a woman's business to get married as soon as possible, and a man's to keep unmarried as long as he can.
George Bernard Shaw
The only sensible person is my tailor. He measures me anew each time he sees me.
George Bernard Shaw
No man ever believes that the Bible means what it says: he is always convinced that it says what he means.
George Bernard Shaw
You use a glass mirror to see your face you use works of art to see your soul.
George Bernard Shaw
Don't order any black things. Rejoice in his memory and be radiant: leave grief to the children. Wear violet and purple. Be patient with the poor people who will snivel: they don't know and they think they will live for ever, which makes death a division instead of a bond.
George Bernard Shaw
The notion that the colonel need be a better man than the private is as confused as the notion that the keystone need be stronger than the coping stone.
George Bernard Shaw
My opportunities were still there, nay, they multiplied tenfold but the strength and youth to cope with them began to fail, and to need eking out with the shifty cunning of experience.
George Bernard Shaw
General consultant to mankind.
George Bernard Shaw
A married man is a man with a past, while a bachelor is a man with a future.
George Bernard Shaw
Liquor is the chloroform which enables the poor man to endure the painful operation of living.
George Bernard Shaw
People have pointed out evidences of personal feeling in my notices as if they were accusing me of a misdemeanor, not knowing that criticism written without personal feeling is not worth reading. It is the capacity for making good or bad art a personal matter that makes a man a critic.
George Bernard Shaw
Go on writing plays, my boy, One of these days one of these London producers will go into his office and say to his secretary, Is there a play from Shaw this morning? and when she says, No, he will say, Well, then we'll have to start on the rubbish. And that's your chance, my boy.
George Bernard Shaw
The salvation of the world depends on the men who will not take evil good-humouredly, and whose laughter destroys the fool instead of encouraging him.
George Bernard Shaw
Though I can make my extravaganzas appear credible, I cannot make the truth appear so.
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
If you do things merely because you think some other fool expects you to do them, and he expects you to do them because he thinks you expect him to expect you to do them, it will end in everybody doing what nobody wants to do, which is in my opinion a silly state of things.
George Bernard Shaw
The conversion of Paul was no conversion at all it was Paul who converted the religion that has raised one man above sin and death.
George Bernard Shaw
