More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
I dislike feeling at home when I am abroad.
George Bernard Shaw
If only for a half hour a day, a child should do something serviceable to the community
George Bernard Shaw
The conversion of Paul was no conversion at all it was Paul who converted the religion that has raised one man above sin and death.
George Bernard Shaw
The devil can quote Shakespeare for his own purpose.
George Bernard Shaw
It is said that every people has the Government it deserves. It is more to the point that every Government has the electorate it deserves for the orator of the front bench can edify or debauch an ignorant electorate at will.
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
All my life affection has been showered upon me, and every forward step I have made has been taken in spite of it.
George Bernard Shaw
I often quote myself. It adds spice to my conversation.
George Bernard Shaw
Give women the vote, and in five years there will be a crushing tax on bachelors.
George Bernard Shaw
If all the Churches of Europe closed their doors until the drums ceased rolling they would act as a most powerful reminder that though the glory of war is a famous and ancient glory, it is not the final glory of God.
George Bernard Shaw
Nothing is worth doing unless the consequences may be serious.
George Bernard Shaw
If a man is indolent, let him be poor. If he is drunken, let him be poor.... Also--somewhat inconsistently--blessed are the poor!
George Bernard Shaw
I lay my eternal curse on whomsoever shall now or at any time hereafter make schoolbooks of my works and make me hated as Shakespeare is hated. My plays were not designed as instruments of torture. All the schools that lust after them get this answer, and will never get any other.
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
A little learning is a dangerous thing, but we must take that risk because a little is as much as our biggest heads can hold.
George Bernard Shaw
Remember always that the least plain sister is the family beauty.
George Bernard Shaw
If Despotism failed only for want of a capable benevolent despot, what chance has Democracy, which requires a whole population of capable voters.
George Bernard Shaw
Must then a Christ perish in torment in every age to save those that have no imagination.
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
We are sick of war, we don't want to fight, And yet we gorge ourselves upon the dead.
George Bernard Shaw
