More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
Better never than late.
George Bernard Shaw
You're only a beginner and what you think is love, and interest, and all that, is not real love at all: three quarters of it is only unsatisfied curiosity.
George Bernard Shaw
Imprisonment is as irrevocable as death.
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
You don't expect me to know what to say about a play when I don't know who the author is, do you? . . . If it's by a good author, it's a good play, naturally. That stands to reason.
George Bernard Shaw
The trouble with the media is that it seems unable to distinguish between the end of the world and a bicycle accident.
George Bernard Shaw
Though all society is founded on intolerance, all improvement is founded on tolerance.
George Bernard Shaw
The poor silly-clever Irishman takes off his hat to God's Englishman.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
What is life but a series of inspired follies.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
The truth is, hardly any of us have ethical energy enough for more than one really inflexible point of honor.
George Bernard Shaw
A man who has no office to go, to I don't care who he is, is a trial of which you can have no conception.
George Bernard Shaw
There are some experiences in life which should not be demanded twice from any man, and one of them is listening to the Brahms Requiem.
George Bernard Shaw
The only time my education was interrupted was when I was in school.
George Bernard Shaw
Wicked people means people who have no love: therefore, they have no shame. They have the power to ask love because the don't need it: they have the power to offer it because they have none to give.
George Bernard Shaw
I can't talk religion to a man with bodily hunger in his eyes.
George Bernard Shaw
The British soldier can stand up to anything except the British War Office.
George Bernard Shaw
I'm sick of all the reasonable people: they see all the reasons for doing nothing
George Bernard Shaw
