More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
Those who understand evil pardon it.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw

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

George Bernard Shaw
The domestic career is no more natural to all women than the military career is natural to all men.
George Bernard Shaw
I am the most spontaneous speaker in the world because every word, every gesture, and every retort has been carefully rehearsed.
George Bernard Shaw
Property is organized robbery.
George Bernard Shaw
Affection between adults - if they are really adult in mind and not merely grown up children - and creatures so relatively selfish and cruel as children necessarily are without knowing it or meaning it, cannot be called natural.
George Bernard Shaw
It is courage, courage, courage, that raises the blood of life to crimson splendor.
George Bernard Shaw
Every man to whom salvation is offered has an inalienable natural right to say 'No, thank you: I prefer to retain my full moral responsibility: it is not good for me to be able to load a scapegoat with my sins: I should be less careful how I committed them if I knew they would cost me nothing.
George Bernard Shaw
