More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
Those who can’t change their minds can’t change anything.
George Bernard Shaw
Happiness and Beauty are by-products.
George Bernard Shaw
Communism, being the lay form of Catholicism, and indeed meaning the same thing, has never had any lack of chaplains.
George Bernard Shaw
There is nothing on earth more exquisite than a bonny book, with well-placed columns of rich black writing in beautiful borders, and illuminated pictures cunningly inset. But nowadays, instead of looking at books, people read them. A book might as well be one of those orders for bacon and bran.
George Bernard Shaw
First really like is just a little bit foolishness as well as a lot of curiosity. No actually self-respecting girl would reap the benefits of it.
George Bernard Shaw
Imprisonment is as irrevocable as death.
George Bernard Shaw
You accepted Allah or you had your throat cut by someone who did accept him, and who went to Paradise for having sent you to Hell.
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's so hard to know what to do when one wishes earnestly to do right.
George Bernard Shaw
The test of good education is seeing how it behaves in a fight.
George Bernard Shaw
Do not try to live forever. You will not succeed.
George Bernard Shaw
Money is a most important thing in the world.
George Bernard Shaw
The politician who once had to learn to flatter Kings has now to learn how to fascinate, amuse, coax, humbug, frighten, or otherwise strike the fancy of the electorate.
George Bernard Shaw
If we have come to think that the nursery and the kitchen are the natural sphere of a woman, we have done so exactly as English children come to think that a cage is the natural sphere of a parrot: because they have never seen one anywhere else.
George Bernard Shaw
A man never tells you anything until you contradict him.
George Bernard Shaw
When God created man and woman, he did not take a patent. That's why any imbecile has been able to do so ever since.
George Bernard Shaw
Be like the sun and meadow, which are not in the least concerned about the coming winter.
George Bernard Shaw
Property, said Proudhon, is theft. This is the only perfect truism that has been uttered on the subject.
George Bernard Shaw
Those who admire modern civilization usually identify it with the steam engine and the electric telegraph.
George Bernard Shaw
This is the true joy of life-the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one, the being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown to the scrap-heap the being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish clod of ailments and grievances.
George Bernard Shaw
