More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
Bourgeois morality is largely a system of making cheap virtues a cloak for expensive vices.
George Bernard Shaw
Always strive to find out what to do by thinking, without asking anybody. If you continually do this, you will soon act like a grown-up woman. For want of doing this, a very great number of grown-up people act like children.
George Bernard Shaw
The person I miss most is the one I could have been.
George Bernard Shaw
A man never tells you anything until you contradict him.
George Bernard Shaw
If you cannot attain knowledge without torturing a dog, you must do without knowledge.
George Bernard Shaw
As to spelling the very frequent word though with six letters instead of two, it is impossible to discuss it, as it is outside the range of common sanity. In comparison such a monstrosity as phlegm for flem is merely disgusting.
George Bernard Shaw
I am a Christian. That obliges me to be a Communist.
George Bernard Shaw
I believe in Michelangelo, Velasquez, and Rembrandt in the might of design, the mystery of color, the redemption of all things by Beauty everlasting, and the message of Art that has made these hands blessed. Amen. Amen.
George Bernard Shaw
Every man deserves to be judged in the context of his times.
George Bernard Shaw
We don't stop playing because we grow old we grow old because we stop playing.
George Bernard Shaw
Choose silence of all virtues, for by it you hear other men's imperfections, and conceal your own.
George Bernard Shaw
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world the unreasonable one persists to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.
George Bernard Shaw
Our ideals, like the gods of old, are constantly demanding human sacrifices.
George Bernard Shaw
My friend, when a man has anything to tell in this world, the difficulty is not to make him tell it, but to prevent him from telling it too often.
George Bernard Shaw
I aint such a mug as to put up my children to all I know myself.
George Bernard Shaw
I never expect a soldier to think.
George Bernard Shaw
If all you are going to do in life are the things that are convenient and comfortable, the great things never get done.
George Bernard Shaw
Few of us have vitality enough to make any of our instincts imperious.
George Bernard Shaw
Oh, the frontier of hell and heaven is only the difference between two ways of looking at things.
George Bernard Shaw
What Englishman will give his mind to politics as long as he can afford to keep a motor car?
George Bernard Shaw
