George Bernard Shaw
My friend, when a man has anything to tell in this world, the difficulty is not to make him tell it, but to prevent him from telling it too often.
George Bernard Shaw
You are all fundamentalists with a top dressing of science. That is why you are the stupidest of conservatives and reactionists in politics and the most bigoted of obstructionists in science itself. When it comes to getting a move on you are all of the same opinion: stop it, flog it, hang it, dynamite it, stamp it out.

George Bernard Shaw
Set me anything to do as a task, and it is inconceivable the desire I have to do something else.
George Bernard Shaw
I was told that my diet was so poor that I could not repair the bones that were broken and operated on. So I have just had an Xradiograph taken and lo! perfectly mended solid bone so beautifully white that I have left instructions that, if I die, a glove stretcher is to be made of me and sent to you as a souvenir
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
It is the inefficiency and sham of ... our schools ... that save us from being dashed on the rocks of false doctrine instead of drifting down the midstream of mere ignorance.
George Bernard Shaw
Men get tired of everything, of heaven no less than of hell and that all history is nothing but a record of the oscillations of the world between these two extremes. An epoch is but a swing of the pendulum and each generation thinks the world is progressing because it is always moving.
George Bernard Shaw
It's just as unpleasant to get more than you bargain for as to get less.
George Bernard Shaw
Never waste jealousy on a real man: it is the imaginary man that supplants us all in the long run.
George Bernard Shaw
