More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
What Englishman will give his mind to politics as long as he can afford to keep a motor car?
George Bernard Shaw
The golden rule is that there are no golden rules.
George Bernard Shaw
All classes in proportion to their lack of travel and familiarity with foreign literature are bellicose, prejudiced against foreigners, fond of fighting as a cruel sport - in short, dog-like in their notions of foreign policy.
George Bernard Shaw
Nothing is worth doing unless the consequences may be serious.
George Bernard Shaw
You don't expect me to know what to say about a play when I don't know who the author is, do you? . . . If it's by a good author, it's a good play, naturally. That stands to reason.
George Bernard Shaw
Happiness and Beauty are by-products.
George Bernard Shaw
My rank is the highest known in Switzerland: I'm a free citizen.
George Bernard Shaw
Sister, you're trying to keep me alive as an old curiosity, but I'm done, I'm finished, I'm going to die.
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
We are the masters at the moment, and not only at the moment, but for a very long time to come.
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
I've posed nude for a photographer in the manner of Rodin's Thinker, but I merely looked constipated.
George Bernard Shaw
Poverty doesn't bring unhappiness it brings degradation.
George Bernard Shaw
We don't stop playing because we grow old we grow old because we stop playing.
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
To a professional critic (I have been one myself) theatre-going is the curse of Adam. The play is the evil he is paid to endure in the sweat of his brow and the sooner it is over, the better.
George Bernard Shaw
If pity is akin to love, gratitude is akin to the other thing.
George Bernard Shaw
I showed my appreciation of my native land in the usual Irish way: by getting out of it as soon as I possibly could.
George Bernard Shaw
German and Spanish are accessible to foreigners: English is not accessible even to Englishmen.
George Bernard Shaw
All progress means war with society.
George Bernard Shaw
