More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
Your father is a fool skin deep but you are a fool to your very marrow.
George Bernard Shaw
Assassination is the extreme form of censorship.
George Bernard Shaw
It's usually pointed out that women are not fit for political power, and ought not to be trusted with a vote because they are politically ignorant, socially prejudiced, narrow-minded, and selfish. True enough, but precisely the same is true of men!
George Bernard Shaw
When it comes to the point, really bad men are just as rare as really good ones.
George Bernard Shaw
The world is populated in the main by people who should not exist
George Bernard Shaw
We should have had socialism already, but for the socialists, am quite willing to drop the name if dropping it will help me to get the thing.
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
The roulette table pays nobody except him that keeps it. Nevertheless a passion for gaming is common, though a passion for keeping roulette tables is unknown.
George Bernard Shaw
An asylum for the sane would be empty in America.
George Bernard Shaw
I believe in Michelangelo, Velasquez, and Rembrandt in the might of design, the mystery of color, the redemption of all things by Beauty everlasting, and the message of Art that has made these hands blessed. Amen. Amen.
George Bernard Shaw
All dress is fancy dress, is it not, except our natural skins?
George Bernard Shaw
The seven deadly sins... food, clothing, firing, rent, taxes, respectability and children. Nothing can lift those seven millstones from Man's neck but money and the spirit cannot soar until the millstones are lifted.
George Bernard Shaw
Power is the faculty or capacity to act, the strength and potency to accomplish something.
George Bernard Shaw
Jesus remains unshaken as the practical man and we stand exposed as the fools, the blunderers, the unpractical visionaries.
George Bernard Shaw
People become attached to their burdens sometimes more than the burdens are attached to them.
George Bernard Shaw
Self-denial is not a virtue it is only the effect of prudence on rascality.
George Bernard Shaw
In a battle all you need to make you fight is a little hot blood and the knowledge that it's more dangerous to lose than to win.
George Bernard Shaw
You practically do not use semicolons at all. This is a symptom of mental defectiveness, probably induced by camp life.
George Bernard Shaw
Shall I turn up the light for you? No, give me deeper darkness. Money is not made in the light.
George Bernard Shaw
No man who is occupied in doing a very difficult thing, and doing it very well, ever loses his self-respect.
George Bernard Shaw
