More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all others because you were born in it.
George Bernard Shaw
Am reserving two tickets for you for my premiere. Come and bring a friend - if you have one. Telegram inviting Winston Churchill to opening night of Pygmalion. Churchill wired back: Impossible to be present for the first performance. Will attend the second - if there is one.
George Bernard Shaw
The unconscious self is the real genius. Your breathing goes wrong the moment your conscious self meddles with it.
George Bernard Shaw
The conversion of a savage to Christianity is the conversion of Christianity to savagery.
George Bernard Shaw
Freedom, my good girl, means being able to count on how other people will behave.
George Bernard Shaw
This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one.
George Bernard Shaw
Let no one suppose that the words doctor and patient can disguise from the parties the fact that they are employer and employee.
George Bernard Shaw
All progress means war with society.
George Bernard Shaw
Love is a simple thing and a deep thing: it is an act of life and not an illusion. Art is an illusion.
George Bernard Shaw
It's usually pointed out that women are not fit for political power, and ought not to be trusted with a vote because they are politically ignorant, socially prejudiced, narrow-minded, and selfish. True enough, but precisely the same is true of men!
George Bernard Shaw
Better never than late.
George Bernard Shaw
If I refuse to allow my leg to be amputated, its mortification and my death may prove that I was wrong but if I let the leg go, nobody can ever prove that it would not have mortified had I been obstinate. Operation is therefore the safe side for the surgeon as well as the lucrative side.
George Bernard Shaw
It is long and hard and painful to create life: it is short and easy to steal the life others have made.
George Bernard Shaw
Every profession is a conspiracy against the laity.
George Bernard Shaw
Patriotism is a pernicious, psychopathic form of idiocy.
George Bernard Shaw
Perhaps the greatest social service that can be rendered by anybody to the country and to mankind is to bring up a family. But here again, because there is nothing to sell, there is a very general disposition to regard a married woman's work as no work at all, and to take it as a matter of course that she should not be paid for it.
George Bernard Shaw
Self-sacrifice enables us to sacrifice other people without blushing.
George Bernard Shaw
Consistency is the enemy of enterprise, just as symmetry is the enemy of art.
George Bernard Shaw
Vegetarians claim to be immune from most diseases but they have been known to die from time to time.
George Bernard Shaw
Youth is just wasted on young people.
George Bernard Shaw
