More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
It is impossible for an Englishman to open his mouth without making some other Englishman hate or despise him.
George Bernard Shaw
Englishmen hate Liberty and Equality too much to understand them. But every Englishman loves a pedigree.
George Bernard Shaw
I object to publishers: the one service they have done me is to teach me to do without them. They combine commercial rascality with artistic touchiness and pettishness, without being either good business men or fine judges of literature.
George Bernard Shaw
The world was to Shakespeare a great stage of fools on which he was utterly bewildered. His pregnant observations of life are not coordinated into any philosophy.
George Bernard Shaw
The best reformers the world has ever seen are those who commence on themselves.
George Bernard Shaw
Words are only postage stamps delivering the object for you to unwrap
George Bernard Shaw
A learned man is an idler who kills time by study.
George Bernard Shaw
Though justice be Thy plea, consider this: That in the course of justice none of us should see salvation. We do pray for mercy, And that same prayer doth teach us all to render The deeds of mercy.
George Bernard Shaw
The technical history of modern harmony is a history of growth of toleration by the human ear of chords that at first sounded discordant and senseless to the main body of contemporary professional musicians.
George Bernard Shaw
A soldier is an anachronism of which we must get rid.
George Bernard Shaw
Time enough to think of the future when you haven't any future to think of.
George Bernard Shaw
Heartbreak is life educating us.
George Bernard Shaw
My main reason for adopting literature as a profession was that, as the author is never seen by his clients, he need not dress respectably.
George Bernard Shaw
We should all be obliged to appear before a board every five years and justify our existence... on pain of liquidation.
George Bernard Shaw
We are made wise not by the recollection of our past, but by the responsibility for our future.
George Bernard Shaw
An idea that no one believes can not be proved too often.
George Bernard Shaw
I dread success. To have succeeded is to have finished one's business on earth, like the male spider who is killed by the female the moment he has succeeded in his courtship. I like the state of continual becoming, with a goal in front and not behind.
George Bernard Shaw
We all go about longing for love: it is the first need of our natures, the loudest cry of our hearts.
George Bernard Shaw
If only for a half hour a day, a child should do something serviceable to the community
George Bernard Shaw
We must not stay as we are, doing always what was done last time or we shall stick in the mud.
George Bernard Shaw
