More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
All government is cruel for nothing is so cruel as impunity.
George Bernard Shaw
You are my inspiration and my folly. You are my light across the sea, my million nameless joys, and my day's wage. You are my divinity, my madness, my selfishness, my transfiguration and purification. You are my rapscallionly fellow vagabond, my tempter and star. I want you.
George Bernard Shaw
When it comes to the point, really bad men are just as rare as really good ones.
George Bernard Shaw
While we have prisons it matters little which of us occupy the cells.
George Bernard Shaw
Men trifle with their business and their politics but never trifle with their games. It brings truth home to them. They cannot pretend they have won when they have lost nor that they had a magnificent drive when they foozled it. The Englishman is at his best on the links and at his worst in the Cabinet.
George Bernard Shaw
I learned more from the first stupid woman who fell in love with me than ever my brains taught me.
George Bernard Shaw
The most tragic thing in the world is a man of genius who is not a man of honor.
George Bernard Shaw
Discussing vaccination with a doctor is like discussing vegetarianism with a butcher.
George Bernard Shaw
I finished my first book seventy-six years ago. I offered it to every publisher on the English-speaking earth I had ever heard of. Their refusals were unanimous: and it did not get into print until, fifty years later publishers would publish anything that had my name on it.
George Bernard Shaw
We are made wise not by the recollection of our past, but by the responsibility for our future.
George Bernard Shaw
My only policy is to profess evil and do good.
George Bernard Shaw
What really flatters a man is that you think him worth flattering.
George Bernard Shaw
It is difficult, if not impossible, for most people to think otherwise than in the fashion of their own period.
George Bernard Shaw
Every girl has a right to be loved.
George Bernard Shaw
Those who won't hesitate to vivisect, won't hesitate to lie about it as well.
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
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
It is courage, courage, courage, that raises the blood of life to crimson splendor.
George Bernard Shaw
The pianoforte is the most important of all musical instruments its invention was to music what the invention of printing was to poetry.
George Bernard Shaw
If pity is akin to love, gratitude is akin to the other thing.
George Bernard Shaw
