More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
The more ignorant men are, the more convinced are they that their little parish and their little chapel is an apex to which civilization and philosophy has painfully struggled up the pyramid of time from a desert of savagery.
George Bernard Shaw
Vitality is a woman is a blind fury of creation.
George Bernard Shaw
Assassination is the extreme form of censorship.
George Bernard Shaw
If you don't begin to be a revolutionist at the age of twenty, then at fifty you will be a most impossible old fossil. If you area red revolutionary at the age of twenty, you have some chance of being up-to-date when you are forty!
George Bernard Shaw
You are all fundamentalists with a top dressing of science. That is why you are the stupidest of conservatives and reactionists in politics and the most bigoted of obstructionists in science itself. When it comes to getting a move on you are all of the same opinion: stop it, flog it, hang it, dynamite it, stamp it out.
George Bernard Shaw
This souls'prison we call England.
George Bernard Shaw
The degree of tolerance attainable at any moment depends on the strain under which society is maintaining its cohesion.
George Bernard Shaw
When you prevent me from doing anything I want to do, that is persecution when I prevent you from doing anything you want to do, that is law, order, and morals.
George Bernard Shaw
Violence is the repartee of the illiterate.
George Bernard Shaw
The real moment of success is not the moment apparent to the crowd.
George Bernard Shaw
Blasphemy and sedition (meaning the truth about Church and State).
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
Men trifle with their business and their politics but never trifle with their games. It brings truth home to them. They cannot pretend they have won when they have lost nor that they had a magnificent drive when they foozled it. The Englishman is at his best on the links and at his worst in the Cabinet.
George Bernard Shaw
Nothing is ever accomplished by a reasonable man.
George Bernard Shaw
Plato long ago pointed out the importance of being governed by men with sufficient sense of responsibility and comprehension of public duties to be very reluctant to undertake the work of governing.
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
Men get tired of everything, of heaven no less than of hell and that all history is nothing but a record of the oscillations of the world between these two extremes. An epoch is but a swing of the pendulum and each generation thinks the world is progressing because it is always moving.
George Bernard Shaw
Everything happens to everybody sooner or later if there is time enough.
George Bernard Shaw
Money is indeed the most important thing in the world and all sound and successful personal and national morality should have this fact for its basis.
George Bernard Shaw
We should all be obliged to appear before a board every five years and justify our existence... on pain of liquidation.
George Bernard Shaw
