More quotes by George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
Every man deserves to be judged in the context of his times.
George Bernard Shaw
Do not do unto others as you expect they should do unto you. Their tastes may not be the same.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
I don't know what to say about this book. The experience on which it is founded is so extraordinary, that an honest record of it should be preserved . . . But it would have driven me mad and I am not sure that the author came out of it without a slight derangement.
George Bernard Shaw
Imprisonment is as irrevocable as death.
George Bernard Shaw
If women were as fastidious as men, morally or physically, there would be an end of the race.
George Bernard Shaw
We have in England a curious belief in first-rate people, meaning all the people we do not know and this consoles us for the undeniable second-rateness of the people we do know.
George Bernard Shaw
I'm sick of all the reasonable people: they see all the reasons for doing nothing
George Bernard Shaw
I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake.
George Bernard Shaw
Liberty means responsibility. That is why most men dread it.
George Bernard Shaw
