More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
If you take too long in deciding what to do with your life, you'll find you've done it.
George Bernard Shaw
A thing that nobody believes cannot be proved too often.
George Bernard Shaw
Every doctor will allow a colleague to decimate a whole countryside sooner than violate the bond of professional etiquette by giving him away.
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
The medical profession (is) a conspiracy to hide its own shortcomings. No doubt the same may be said of all professions. They are all conspiracies against the laity... (U)ntil there is a practicable alternative to blind trust in the doctor, the truth about the doctor is so terrible that we dare not face it.
George Bernard Shaw
A man ought to be able to be fond of his wife without making a fool of himself about her.
George Bernard Shaw
The most tragic thing in the world is a man of genius who is not a man of honor.
George Bernard Shaw
Every profession is a conspiracy against the laity.
George Bernard Shaw
We all go about longing for love: it is the first need of our natures, the loudest cry of our hearts.
George Bernard Shaw
I was convinced that Ceylon is the cradle of the human race because everybody there looks an original. All other nations are obviously mass produced.
George Bernard Shaw
Christmas is forced upon a reluctant and disgusted nation by the shopkeepers and the press on its own merits it would wither and shrivel in the fiery breath of universal hatred.
George Bernard Shaw
The danger of crippling thought, the danger of obstructing the formation of the public mind by specially suppressing ... representations is far greater than any real danger that there is from such representations.
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
The most sublime courage I have ever witnessed has been among that class too poor to know they possessed it, and too humble for the world to discover it.
George Bernard Shaw
Here there is no hope, and consequently no duty, no work, nothing to be gained by praying, nothing to be lost by doing what you like. Hell, in short, is a place where you have nothing to do but amuse yourself.
George Bernard Shaw
There is only one belief that can rob death of its sting and the grave of its victory. For without that you cannot be born again.
George Bernard Shaw
Make me a beautiful word for doing things tomorrow for that surely is a great and blessed invention.
George Bernard Shaw
