More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
If 'Pygmalion' is not good enough for your friends with its own verbal music, their talent must be altogether extraordinary.
George Bernard Shaw
Few of us have vitality enough to make any of our instincts imperious.
George Bernard Shaw
As to spelling the very frequent word though with six letters instead of two, it is impossible to discuss it, as it is outside the range of common sanity. In comparison such a monstrosity as phlegm for flem is merely disgusting.
George Bernard Shaw
Wise kings wear shabby clothes, and leave the gold lace to the drum major.
George Bernard Shaw
Very nice sort of place, Oxford, I should think, for people that like that sort of place.
George Bernard Shaw
A part of eugenic politics would finally land us in an extensive use of the lethal chamber. A great many people would have to be put out of existence simply because it wastes other people's time to look after them.
George Bernard Shaw
I find that socialism is often misunderstood by its least intelligent supporters and opponents to mean simply unrestrained indulgence of our natural propensity to heave bricks at respectable persons.
George Bernard Shaw
I can forgive Alfred Nobel for having invented dynamite, but only a fiend in human form could have invented the Nobel Prize.
George Bernard Shaw
Words are only postage stamps delivering the object for you to unwrap
George Bernard Shaw
When a man says money can do anything, that settles it: he hasn't got any.
George Bernard Shaw
When a man wants to murder a tiger he calls it sport when a tiger wants to murder him he calls it ferocity.
George Bernard Shaw
There is no accomplishment so easy to acquire as politeness and none more profitable.
George Bernard Shaw
The surest way to ruin a man who doesn't know how to handle money is to give him some.
George Bernard Shaw
Virtue consists, not in abstaining from vice, but in not desiring it.
George Bernard Shaw
A love affair should always be a honeymoon. And the only way to make sure of that is to keep changing the man for the same man can never keep it up.
George Bernard Shaw
The best bought-up children are those who have seen thier parents as they are. Hypocrisy is not the first duty of a parent.
George Bernard Shaw
To a mathematician the eleventh means only a single unit: to the bushman who cannot count further than his ten fingers it is an incalculable myriad.
George Bernard Shaw
Beware of the man whose God is in the skies.
George Bernard Shaw
We must always think about things, and we must think about things as they are, not as they are said to be.
George Bernard Shaw
You cannot have power for good without having power for evil too. Even mother's milk nourishes murderers as well as heroes.
George Bernard Shaw
