More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
Youth is a wonderful thing. What a crime to waste it on children.
George Bernard Shaw
Power is the faculty or capacity to act, the strength and potency to accomplish something.
George Bernard Shaw
As 99 per cent of English authors and 100 per cent of American ones [authors] are just such imbeciles, managers and publishers make a practice of asking for every right the author possesses.
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
My own education has been entirely controversial: that is why I know what I am writing about and appear eccentric to dogmatically educated Old School Ties whose heads are stuffed with obsolete shibboleths.
George Bernard Shaw
Woman's happiness begins with her first love and ends about then
George Bernard Shaw
Blasphemy and sedition (meaning the truth about Church and State).

A serious illness or a death advertises the doctor exactly as a hanging advertises the barrister who defended the person hanged.
George Bernard Shaw
I choose not to make a graveyard of my body for the rotting corpses of dead animals.
George Bernard Shaw
A modern gentleman [rich person] is necessarily the enemy of his country. Even in war he does not fight to defend it, but to prevent his power of preying on it from passing to a foreigner.
George Bernard Shaw
It is easy - terribly easy - to shake a man's faith in himself. To take advantage of that to break a man's spirit is devil's work.
George Bernard Shaw
Liberty is the breath of life to nations.
George Bernard Shaw
Men are always thinking that they are going to do something grandly wicked to their enemies but when it comes to the point, really bad men are just as rare as really good ones.
George Bernard Shaw
You practically do not use semicolons at all. This is a symptom of mental defectiveness, probably induced by camp life.
George Bernard Shaw
The public want actresses, because they think all actresses bad. They don't want music or poetry because they know that both are good. So actors and actresses thrive and poets and composers starve.
George Bernard Shaw
The educated man is a greater nuisance than the uneducated one.
George Bernard Shaw
What is the matter with universities is that the students are school children, whereas it is of the very essence of university education that they should be adults.
George Bernard Shaw
Don't waste time collecting other people's autographs rather devote it to making your own autograph worth collecting.
George Bernard Shaw
The difference between a lady and a flower girl is not how she behaves, but how she’s treated.
George Bernard Shaw
