More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
Nothing is worth doing unless the consequences may be serious.
George Bernard Shaw
When I was young, I observed that nine out of ten things I did were failures. So I did ten times more work.
George Bernard Shaw
The only time my education was interrupted was when I was in school.
George Bernard Shaw
What right has any human being to talk of bringing up a child? You do not bring up a tree or a plant. It brings itself up. You have to give it a fair chance by tilling the soil.
George Bernard Shaw
Power is the faculty or capacity to act, the strength and potency to accomplish something.
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
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
Until the men of action clear out the talkers we who have social consciences are at the mercy of those who have none.
George Bernard Shaw
A dinner! How horrible! I am to be made the pretext for killing all those wretched animals and birds, and fish! Thank you for nothing. Now if it were to be a fast instead of a feast say a solemn three days' abstention from corpses in my honour, I could at least pretend to believe that it was disinterested. Blood sacrifices are not in my line
George Bernard Shaw
I don't know what to say about this book. The experience on which it is founded is so extraordinary, that an honest record of it should be preserved . . . But it would have driven me mad and I am not sure that the author came out of it without a slight derangement.
George Bernard Shaw
Liquor is the chloroform which enables the poor man to endure the painful operation of living.
George Bernard Shaw
If women were as fastidious as men, morally or physically, there would be an end of the race.
George Bernard Shaw
Any belief worth having must survive doubt
George Bernard Shaw
Happy is the man who can make a living by his hobby
George Bernard Shaw
I dislike feeling at home when I am abroad.
George Bernard Shaw
Self-denial is not a virtue it is only the effect of prudence on rascality.
George Bernard Shaw
O Lord! I don't know which is the worst of the country, the walking or the sitting at home with nothing to do.
George Bernard Shaw
My main reason for adopting literature as a profession was that, as the author is never seen by his clients, he need not dress respectably.
George Bernard Shaw
An election is a moral horror, as bad as a battle except for the blood a mud bath for every soul concerned in it.
George Bernard Shaw
There are scores of thousands of human insects who are ready at a moment's notice to reveal the Will of God on every possible subject
George Bernard Shaw
