More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world the unreasonable one persists to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.
George Bernard Shaw
You are my inspiration and my folly. You are my light across the sea, my million nameless joys, and my day's wage. You are my divinity, my madness, my selfishness, my transfiguration and purification. You are my rapscallionly fellow vagabond, my tempter and star. I want you.
George Bernard Shaw
The roulette table pays nobody except him that keeps it. Nevertheless a passion for gaming is common, though a passion for keeping roulette tables is unknown.

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
It is the inefficiency and sham of ... our schools ... that save us from being dashed on the rocks of false doctrine instead of drifting down the midstream of mere ignorance.
George Bernard Shaw
Get out of my way for I won't stop for you.
George Bernard Shaw
It is not the number of years we have behind us, but the number we have before us, that makes us careful and responsible and determined to find out the truth about everything.
George Bernard Shaw
Youth is just wasted on young people.
George Bernard Shaw
When the military man approaches, the world locks up its spoons and packs off its womankind.
George Bernard Shaw
A family is a tyranny ruled over by it's weakest member.
George Bernard Shaw
