More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
A man of my spiritual intensity does not eat corpses.
George Bernard Shaw
I dread success. To have succeeded is to have finished one's business on earth, like the male spider who is killed by the female the moment he has succeeded in his courtship. I like the state of continual becoming, with a goal in front and not behind.
George Bernard Shaw
It is not that I am so clever it is that everyone else is so stupid.
George Bernard Shaw
I am a brigand: I live by robbing the rich.' 'I am a gentleman: I live by robbing the poor.
George Bernard Shaw
Islam is the best religion and Muslims are the worst followers
George Bernard Shaw
You accepted Allah or you had your throat cut by someone who did accept him, and who went to Paradise for having sent you to Hell.
George Bernard Shaw
The person I miss most is the one I could have been.
George Bernard Shaw
Consistency is the enemy of enterprise, just as symmetry is the enemy of art.
George Bernard Shaw
If a man is indolent, let him be poor. If he is drunken, let him be poor.... Also--somewhat inconsistently--blessed are the poor!
George Bernard Shaw
All progress depends upon the unreasonable person.
George Bernard Shaw
I am highly susceptible to the force of all truly religious music, especially to the music of my own church, the church of Shelley, Michelangelo, and Beethoven.
George Bernard Shaw
I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it.
George Bernard Shaw
The truth sticks in our throats with all the sauces it is served with: it will never go down until we take it without any sauce at all.
George Bernard Shaw
Those who do not know how to live must make a merit of dying.
George Bernard Shaw
I often quote myself. It adds spice to my conversation.
George Bernard Shaw
The vilest abortionist is he who attempts to mould a child's character.
George Bernard Shaw
You do not settle whether an argument is justified by merely showing that it is of some use. The distinction is not between useful and useless experiments but between barbarous and civilized behaviour. Vivisection is a social evil because if it advances human knowledge, it does so at the expense of human character.
George Bernard Shaw
I fought linotype and montype for some time because it would not justify as well as handset could be made to do but at last, as always happens, the machine outdid the hand, and got all the best types on it.
George Bernard Shaw
Think what cowards men would be if they had to bear children. Women are altogether a superior species.
George Bernard Shaw
We know there is intention and purpose in the universe, because there is intention and purpose in us.
George Bernard Shaw
