George Bernard Shaw
I prefer the man who calls his nonsense a mystery to him who who pretends it is a weighed, measured, analyzed fact.
George Bernard Shaw
Every man deserves to be judged in the context of his times.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
What we are confronted with now is a growing perception that if we desire a certain type of civilization and culture we must exterminate the sort of people who do not fit into it.
George Bernard Shaw
Orchestras only need to be sworn at, and a German is consequently at an advantage with them, as English profanity, except in America, has not gone beyond a limited technology of perdition.
George Bernard Shaw
Have you no morals, man?' 'Can't afford them,Governor.
George Bernard Shaw
The British soldier can stand up to anything except the British War Office.
George Bernard Shaw
Brains are not everything.
George Bernard Shaw
Those who can’t change their minds can’t change anything.
George Bernard Shaw
A newspaper, not having to act on its descriptions and reports, but only to sell them to idly curious people, has nothing but honor to lose by inaccuracy and non-veracity.
George Bernard Shaw
