More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
Don't lose faith. Promise yourself that you will be a success story, and I promise you that all the forces of the universe will unite to come to your aid you might not feel today or for a while, but the longer you wait the bigger the prize.
George Bernard Shaw
Must then a Christ perish in torment in every age to save those that have no imagination.
George Bernard Shaw
We are told that when Jehovah created the world he saw that it was good what would he say now
George Bernard Shaw
All progress means war with society.
George Bernard Shaw
Love is a simple thing and a deep thing: it is an act of life and not an illusion. Art is an illusion.
George Bernard Shaw
Perhaps the greatest social service that can be rendered by anybody to the country and to mankind is to bring up a family. But here again, because there is nothing to sell, there is a very general disposition to regard a married woman's work as no work at all, and to take it as a matter of course that she should not be paid for it.
George Bernard Shaw
The harder I work the more I live.
George Bernard Shaw
Journalists are too poorly paid in this country to know anything that is fit for publication.
George Bernard Shaw
A moderately honest man with a moderately faithful wife, moderate drinkers both, in a moderately healthy house: that is the true middle class unit.
George Bernard Shaw
Life would be tolerable but for its amusements.
George Bernard Shaw
Disobedience, the rarest and most courageous of the virtues, is seldom distinguished from neglect, the laziest and commonest of the vices.
George Bernard Shaw
Let a short Act of Parliament be passed, placing all street musicians outside the protection of the law, so that any citizen may assail them with stones, sticks, knives, pistols or bombs without incurring any penalties.
George Bernard Shaw
Spend all you have before you die, and do not outlive yourself.
George Bernard Shaw
There is no sincerer love than the love of food.
George Bernard Shaw
Everyone can see that the people who hunt are the right people and the people who don't are the wrong ones.
George Bernard Shaw
Write your Sad times in Sand, Write your Good times in Stone.
George Bernard Shaw
Most of the money given by rich people in charity is made up of conscience money, ransom, political bribery, and bids for titles.... One buys moral credit by signing a cheque, which is easier than turning a prayer wheel.
George Bernard Shaw
If you do things merely because you think some other fool expects you to do them, and he expects you to do them because he thinks you expect him to expect you to do them, it will end in everybody doing what nobody wants to do, which is in my opinion a silly state of things.
George Bernard Shaw
It is the mark of a truly intelligent person to be moved by statistics.
George Bernard Shaw
A Native American elder once described his own inner struggles in this manner: Inside of me there are two dogs. One of the dogs is mean and evil. The other dog is good. The mean dog fights the good dog all the time. When asked which dog wins, he reflected for a moment and replied, The one I feed the most.
George Bernard Shaw
