More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
The practical question, then, is what to do with the children. Tolerate them at home we will not. Let them run loose in the streets we dare not until our streets become safe places for children, which, to our utter shame, they are not at present, though they can hardly be worse than some homes and some schools.
George Bernard Shaw
A vegetarian is not a person who lives on vegetables, any more than a Catholic is a person who lives on cats.
George Bernard Shaw
Imprisonment, as it exists today, is a worse crime than any of those committed by its victims.
George Bernard Shaw
Cruelty would be delicious if one could only find some sort of cruelty that didn't really hurt.
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

George Bernard Shaw

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
Gambling promises the poor what property performs for the rich-something for nothing.
George Bernard Shaw
The popular definition of tragedy is heavy drama in which everyone is killed in the last act, comedy being light drama in which everyone is married in the last act.
George Bernard Shaw
While we have prisons it matters little which of us occupy the cells.
George Bernard Shaw
Woman's happiness begins with her first love and ends about then
George Bernard Shaw
Morals are a luxury of the rich.
George Bernard Shaw
Youth is a wonderful thing. What a crime to waste it on children.
George Bernard Shaw
Independence? That's middle class blasphemy. We are all dependent on one another, every soul of us on earth.
George Bernard Shaw
