More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
I work as my father drank.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
Life would be tolerable but for its amusements.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
We are the living graves of murdered beasts, slaughtered to satisfy our appetites. How can we hope in this world to attain the peace we say we are so anxious for?
George Bernard Shaw
It is a monstrous thing to force a child to learn Latin or Greek or mathematics on the ground that they are an indispensable gymnastic for the mental powers. It would be monstrous even if it were true.
George Bernard Shaw
Liberty means responsibility. That is why most men dread it.
George Bernard Shaw
Parentage is a very important profession, but no test of fitness for it is ever imposed in the interest of the children.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
Power does not corrupt men fools, however, if they get into a position of power, corrupt power.
George Bernard Shaw
A man of my spiritual intensity does not eat corpses.
George Bernard Shaw
You use a glass mirror to see your face you use works of art to see your soul.
George Bernard Shaw
If you strike a child, take care that you strike it in anger, even at the risk of maiming it for life. A blow in cold blood neither can nor should be forgiven.
George Bernard Shaw
It is one of the mysterious ways of Allah to make women troublesome when he makes them beautiful.
George Bernard Shaw
Some persons, by hating vice too much, come to love men too little. Hatred is self-punishment. Hatred is the cowards revenge for being intimidated.
George Bernard Shaw
Every child has a right to its own bent. . . . It has a right to find its own way and go its own way, whether that way seems wise or foolish to others, exactly as an adult has. It has a right to privacy as to its own doings and its own affairs as much as if it were its own father.
George Bernard Shaw
It is difficult, if not impossible, for most people to think otherwise than in the fashion of their own period.
George Bernard Shaw
