More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
Think what cowards men would be if they had to bear children. Women are altogether a superior species.
George Bernard Shaw
To the person with a toothache, even if the world is tottering, there is nothing more important than a visit to a dentist.
George Bernard Shaw
The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want and if they can't find them, make them.
George Bernard Shaw
My opportunities were still there, nay, they multiplied tenfold but the strength and youth to cope with them began to fail, and to need eking out with the shifty cunning of experience.
George Bernard Shaw
Marriage is popular because it combines the maximum of temptation with the maximum of opportunity.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
A socialist is somebody who doesn't have anything, and is ready to divide it up equally among everybody.
George Bernard Shaw
After all, the wrong road always leads somewhere.
George Bernard Shaw
Do not mistake your objection to defeat for an objection to fighting, your objection to being a slave for an objection to slavery, your objection to not being as rich as your neighbor for an objection to poverty. The cowardly, the insubordinate, and the envious share your objections.
George Bernard Shaw
If there was nothing wrong in the world there wouldn't be anything for us to do.
George Bernard Shaw
Every man deserves to be judged in the context of his times.
George Bernard Shaw
Whenever you wish to do anything against the law, Cicely, always consult a good solicitor first.
George Bernard Shaw
Islam is the best religion and Muslims are the worst followers
George Bernard Shaw
A healthy nation is as unconscious of its nationality as a healthy man of his bones. But if you break a person's nationality it will think of nothing else but getting it set again.
George Bernard Shaw
He who confuses political liberty with freedom and political equality with similarity has never thought for five minutes about either.
George Bernard Shaw
I like to quote myself frequently and often, it makes me sound much more intelligent than I actually am.
George Bernard Shaw
A miracle is an event which creates faith. That is the purpose and nature of miracles. Frauds deceive. An event which creates faith does not deceive: therefore it is not a fraud, but a miracle.
George Bernard Shaw
Those who talk most about the blessings of marriage and the constancy of its vows are the very people who declare that if the chain were broken and the prisoners left free to choose, the whole social fabric would fly asunder. You cannot have the argument both ways. If the prisoner is happy, why lock him in? If he is not, why pretend that he is?
George Bernard Shaw
