More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
The educated man is a greater nuisance than the uneducated one.
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
What is both surprising and delightful is that the spectators are allowed, and even expected, to join in the vocal part of the game...There is no reason why the field should not try to put the batsman off his stroke at the critical moment by neatly timed disparagements of his wife's fidelity and his mother's respectability.
George Bernard Shaw
There is only one person an English girl hates more than she hates her elder sister and that is her mother.
George Bernard Shaw
How can you dare teach a man to read until you've taught him everything else first?
George Bernard Shaw
First really like is just a little bit foolishness as well as a lot of curiosity. No actually self-respecting girl would reap the benefits of it.
George Bernard Shaw

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
The practical question, then, is what to do with the children. Tolerate them at home we will not. Let them run loose in the streets we dare not until our streets become safe places for children, which, to our utter shame, they are not at present, though they can hardly be worse than some homes and some schools.
George Bernard Shaw
The test of good education is seeing how it behaves in a fight.
George Bernard Shaw
The quality of a play is the quality of its ideas.
George Bernard Shaw
Don't lose faith. Promise yourself that you will be a success story, and I promise you that all the forces of the universe will unite to come to your aid you might not feel today or for a while, but the longer you wait the bigger the prize.
George Bernard Shaw
The criminal law is no use to decent people.
George Bernard Shaw
There is no satisfaction in hanging a man who does not object to it.
George Bernard Shaw
In a living society every day is a day of judgment and its recognition as such is not the end of all things but the beginning ofa real civilization.
George Bernard Shaw
Great art is never produced for its own sake. It is too difficult to be worth the effort.
George Bernard Shaw
Hate is the revenge of a coward intimidated.
George Bernard Shaw
The possibilities are numerous once we decide to act and not react.
George Bernard Shaw
Progress is impossible without change and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.
George Bernard Shaw
It is courage, courage, courage, that raises the blood of life to crimson splendor.
George Bernard Shaw
