More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
Every profession is a conspiracy against the laity.
George Bernard Shaw
The real moment of success is not the moment apparent to the crowd.
George Bernard Shaw
Just as I cannot remember any time when I could not read and write, I cannot remember any time when I did not exercise my imagination in daydreams about women.
George Bernard Shaw
Cruelty must be whitewashed by a moral excuse, and pretense of reluctance.
George Bernard Shaw
You have a choice of trusting the natural stability of gold, or the honesty and intelligence of members of government.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
A socialist is somebody who doesn't have anything, and is ready to divide it up equally among everybody.
George Bernard Shaw
Nothing is more dangerous than a poor doctor: not even a poor employer or a poor landlord.
George Bernard Shaw
If all the economists were laid end to end, they'd never reach a conclusion.
George Bernard Shaw
Keep away from books and from men who get their ideas from books, and your own books will always be fresh.
George Bernard Shaw
He who bears the brand of Cain shall rule the earth.
George Bernard Shaw
Write your Sad times in Sand, Write your Good times in Stone.
George Bernard Shaw
They tell me that So-and-So, who does not write prefaces, is no charlatan. Well, I am. I first caught the ear of the British public on a cart in Hyde Park, to the blaring of brass bands,and this . . . because . . . I am a natural-born mountebank.
George Bernard Shaw
It is easy - terribly easy - to shake a man's faith in himself. To take advantage of that to break a man's spirit is devil's work.
George Bernard Shaw
It exasperated her to think that the dungeon in which she had languished for so many unhappy years had been unlocked all the time, and that the impulses she had so carefully struggled with and stifled for the sake of keeping well with society, were precisely those by which alone she could have come into any sort of sincere human contact.
George Bernard Shaw
It is the mark of a truly intelligent person to be moved by statistics.
George Bernard Shaw
To the person with a toothache, even if the world is tottering, there is nothing more important than a visit to a dentist.
George Bernard Shaw
New opinions often appear first as jokes and fancies, then as blasphemies and treason, then as questions open to discussion, and finally as established truths.
George Bernard Shaw
