More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
It is easy - terribly easy - to shake a man's faith in himself. To take advantage of that to break a man's spirit is devil's work.
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
When it comes to the point, really bad men are just as rare as really good ones.
George Bernard Shaw
Very nice sort of place, Oxford, I should think, for people that like that sort of place.
George Bernard Shaw
Jesus remains unshaken as the practical man and we stand exposed as the fools, the blunderers, the unpractical visionaries.
George Bernard Shaw
Fear is choosing the safe course
George Bernard Shaw
Being a mother means that your heart is no longer yours it wanders wherever your children do
George Bernard Shaw
Our lives are shaped not as much by our experiences as by our expectations.
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
The camera can represent flesh so superbly that, if I dared, I would never photograph a figure without asking that figure to take its clothes off.
George Bernard Shaw
Every man to whom salvation is offered has an inalienable natural right to say 'No, thank you: I prefer to retain my full moral responsibility: it is not good for me to be able to load a scapegoat with my sins: I should be less careful how I committed them if I knew they would cost me nothing.
George Bernard Shaw
Money is a most important thing in the world.
George Bernard Shaw
When a lion meets another with a louder roar, the first lion thinks the last a bore.
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
If I bind the future I bind my will. If I bind my will I strangle creation.
George Bernard Shaw
All progress is due to the unreasonable person.
George Bernard Shaw
Do not mistake your objection to defeat for an objection to fighting, your objection to being a slave for an objection to slavery, your objection to not being as rich as your neighbor for an objection to poverty. The cowardly, the insubordinate, and the envious share your objections.
George Bernard Shaw
When a bishop at the first shot abandons the worship of Christ and rallies his flock round the altar of Mars, he may be acting patriotically... but that does not justify him in pretending...that Christ is, in effect, Mars.
George Bernard Shaw
All progress depends on the unreasonable man.
George Bernard Shaw
I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it.
George Bernard Shaw
