More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
Silence is the most perfect expression of scorn.
George Bernard Shaw
Nationalism must now be added to the refuse pile of superstitions. We are now citizens of the world, and the man who divides the race into elect Irishmen and reprobate foreign devils (especially Englishmen) had better live on the Blaskets where he can admire himself without disturbance.
George Bernard Shaw
It is not pleasure that makes life worth living. It is life that makes pleasure worth having.
George Bernard Shaw
There is no satisfaction in hanging a man who does not object to it.
George Bernard Shaw
I no longer desire happiness: life is nobler than that.
George Bernard Shaw
Oh, the frontier of hell and heaven is only the difference between two ways of looking at things.
George Bernard Shaw
Kings are not born: they are made by artificial hallucination.
George Bernard Shaw
Captain Shotover: How much does your soul eat? Ellie: Oh, a lot. It eats music and pictures and books and mountains and lakes and beautiful things to wear and nice people to be with.
George Bernard Shaw
I lay my eternal curse on whomsoever shall now or at any time hereafter make schoolbooks of my works and make me hated as Shakespeare is hated. My plays were not designed as instruments of torture. All the schools that lust after them get this answer, and will never get any other.
George Bernard Shaw
I'm an atheist and I thank God for it.
George Bernard Shaw
A contract for better for worse is a contract that should not be tolerated.
George Bernard Shaw
Property is organized robbery.
George Bernard Shaw
Atrocities are not less atrocities when they occur in laboratories and are called medical research.
George Bernard Shaw
Justice is justice though it's always delayed and finally done only by mistake.
George Bernard Shaw
Imprisonment, as it exists today, is a worse crime than any of those committed by its victims.
George Bernard Shaw
Geniuses are horrid, intolerant, easily offended, sleeplessly self-conscious men, who expect their wives to be angels with no further business in life than to pet and worship their husbands. Even at the best they are not comfortable men to live with and a perfect husband is one who is perfectly comfortable to live with.
George Bernard Shaw
Where there is no knowledge ignorance calls itself science.
George Bernard Shaw
The only service a friend can really render is to keep up your courage by holding up to you a mirror in which you can see a noble image of yourself.
George Bernard Shaw
The degree of tolerance attainable at any moment depends on the strain under which society is maintaining its cohesion.
George Bernard Shaw
Miracles, in the sense of phenomena we cannot explain, surround us on every hand: life itself is the miracle of miracles.
George Bernard Shaw
