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.

More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
It is the mark of a truly intelligent person to be moved by statistics.
George Bernard Shaw
My only policy is to profess evil and do good.
George Bernard Shaw
Be like the sun and meadow, which are not in the least concerned about the coming winter.
George Bernard Shaw
If the lesser mind could measure the greater as a foot-rule can measure a pyramid, there would be finality in universal suffrage. As it is, the political problem remains unsolved.
George Bernard Shaw
Social questions are too sectional, too topical, too temporal to move a man to the mighty effort which is needed to produce greatpoetry. Prison reform may nerve Charles Reade to produce an effective and businesslike prose melodrama but it could never produce Hamlet, Faust, or Peer Gynt.
George Bernard Shaw
It is doubtless wise, when a reform is introduced, to try to persuade the British public that it is not a reform at all but appearances must be kept up to some extent at least.
George Bernard Shaw
A part of eugenic politics would finally land us in an extensive use of the lethal chamber. A great many people would have to be put out of existence simply because it wastes other people's time to look after them.
George Bernard Shaw
What is any respectable girl brought up to do but to catch some rich man's fancy and get the benefit of his money by marrying him?--as if a marriage ceremony could make any difference in the right or wrong of the thing!
George Bernard Shaw
Marriage is popular because it combines the maximum of temptation with the maximum of opportunity.
George Bernard Shaw
The function of comedy is to dispelunconsciousness by turning the searchlight of the keenest moral and intellectual analysisright on to it.
George Bernard Shaw
Being a mother means that your heart is no longer yours it wanders wherever your children do
George Bernard Shaw
The joy in life is to be used for a purpose. I want to be used up when I die.
George Bernard Shaw
If only for a half hour a day, a child should do something serviceable to the community
George Bernard Shaw
I myself have been particularly careful never to say a civil word to the United States. I have scoffed at their inhabitants as a nation of villagers. I have defined the 100 % American as 99 % an idiot. And they adore me.
George Bernard Shaw
I have very carefully studied Islam and the life of its Prophet (PBUH). I have done so both as a student of history and as a critic. And I have come to conclusion that Muhammad (PBUH) was indeed a great man and a deliverer and benefactor of mankind which was till then writhing under the most agonising Pain.
George Bernard Shaw
I find that socialism is often misunderstood by its least intelligent supporters and opponents to mean simply unrestrained indulgence of our natural propensity to heave bricks at respectable persons.
George Bernard Shaw
The fact is that the intrinsic worth of the book, play or whatever the author is trying to sell is the least, last factor in the the whole transaction.
George Bernard Shaw
A healthy nation is as unconscious of its nationality as a healthy man of his bones. But if you break a person's nationality it will think of nothing else but getting it set again.
George Bernard Shaw
This souls'prison we call England.
George Bernard Shaw
Oh, well, if you want original conversations, you'd better go and talk to yourself.
George Bernard Shaw
