More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
If a woman rebels against high-heeled shoes, she should take care to do it in a very smart hat
George Bernard Shaw
The most sublime courage I have ever witnessed has been among that class too poor to know they possessed it, and too humble for the world to discover it.
George Bernard Shaw
It's just as unpleasant to get more than you bargain for as to get less.
George Bernard Shaw
I have very carefully studied Islam and the life of its Prophet (PBUH). I have done so both as a student of history and as a critic. And I have come to conclusion that Muhammad (PBUH) was indeed a great man and a deliverer and benefactor of mankind which was till then writhing under the most agonising Pain.
George Bernard Shaw
I hope you have lost your good looks, for while they last any fool can adore you, and the adoration of fools is bad for the soul. No, give me a ruined complexion and a lost figure and sixteen chins on a farmyard of Crow's feet and an obvious wig. Then you shall see me coming out strong.
George Bernard Shaw
No king on earth is as safe in his job as a Trade Union official. There is only one thing that can get him sacked and that is drink. Not even that, as long as he doesn't actually fall down.
George Bernard Shaw
The test of good education is seeing how it behaves in a fight.
George Bernard Shaw
I'm one of the undeserving poor: that's what I am. Think of what that means to a man. It means that he's up agen middle class morality all the time.... What is middle class morality? Just an excuse for never giving me anything.
George Bernard Shaw
Heartbreak is life educating us.
George Bernard Shaw
Happy is the man who can make a living by his hobby
George Bernard Shaw
As people get their opinions so largely from the newspapers they read... But the Press is not free, the newspapers are owned by rich men.
George Bernard Shaw
The politician who once had to learn to flatter Kings has now to learn how to fascinate, amuse, coax, humbug, frighten, or otherwise strike the fancy of the electorate.
George Bernard Shaw
Man is unique in that he has plans, purpose and goals which require the need for criteria of choice. The need for ethical value is within man whose future may largely be determined by the choice he make
George Bernard Shaw
A critic recently described me, with deadly acuteness, as having 'a kindly dislike of my fellow-creatures.' Perhaps dread would have been nearer the mark than dislike for man is the only animal of which I am thoroughly and cravenly afraid.
George Bernard Shaw
Where equality is undisputed, so also is subordination.
George Bernard Shaw
In a stupid nation the man of genius becomes a god : everybody worships him and nobody does his will.
George Bernard Shaw
Freedom, my good girl, means being able to count on how other people will behave.
George Bernard Shaw
Which painting in the National Gallery would I save if there was a fire? The one nearest the door of course.
George Bernard Shaw
I'm only a beer teetotaller, not a champagne teetotaller.
George Bernard Shaw
The heretic is always better dead. And mortal eyes cannot distinguish the saint from the heretic.
George Bernard Shaw
