More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
Imprisonment, as it exists today, is a worse crime than any of those committed by its victims.
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
Life at its noblest leaves mere happiness far behind and indeed cannot endure it. Happiness is not the object of life: life has no object: it is an end in itself and courage consists in the readiness to sacrifice happiness for an intenser quality of life.
George Bernard Shaw
Everyone can see that the people who hunt are the right people and the people who don't are the wrong ones.
George Bernard Shaw
I'm only a beer teetotaller, not a champagne teetotaller.
George Bernard Shaw
Only fools repeat the same things over and over, expecting to obtain different results.
George Bernard Shaw
Those who talk most about the blessings of marriage and the constancy of its vows are the very people who declare that if the chain were broken and the prisoners left free to choose, the whole social fabric would fly asunder. You cannot have the argument both ways. If the prisoner is happy, why lock him in? If he is not, why pretend that he is?
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
After all, the wrong road always leads somewhere.
George Bernard Shaw
Nietzche . . . he was a confirmed Life Force worshipper. It was he who raked up the Superman, who is as old as Prometheus and the 20th century will run after this newest of the old crazes when it gets tired of the world, the flesh, and your humble servant.
George Bernard Shaw
Justice is justice though it's always delayed and finally done only by mistake.
George Bernard Shaw
I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake.
George Bernard Shaw
A man never tells you anything until you contradict him.
George Bernard Shaw
Write your Sad times in Sand, Write your Good times in Stone.
George Bernard Shaw
If you eliminate smoking and gambling, you will be amazed to find that almost all an Englishman's pleasures can be, and mostly are, shared by his dog.
George Bernard Shaw
Rebecca [West] can handle a pen as brilliantly as ever I could and much more savagely.
George Bernard Shaw
I hope you have lost your good looks, for while they last any fool can adore you, and the adoration of fools is bad for the soul. No, give me a ruined complexion and a lost figure and sixteen chins on a farmyard of Crow's feet and an obvious wig. Then you shall see me coming out strong.
George Bernard Shaw
I don't want to talk grammar. I want to talk like a lady.
George Bernard Shaw
If all the statisticians in the world were laid head to toe, they wouldn't be able to reach a conclusion
George Bernard Shaw
No diet will remove all the fat from your body because the brain is entirely fat. Without a brain, you might look good, but all you could do is run for public office.
George Bernard Shaw
