A revolutionist is one who desires to discard the existing social order and try another.
George Bernard Shaw
I like a bit of mongrel myself, whether it's a man or a dog.
George Bernard Shaw
If in the library of your house you do not have the works of the ancient Greek writers, then you live in a house with no light.
George Bernard Shaw
History, sir, will tell lies as usual.
George Bernard Shaw
Laws, religions, creeds, and systems of ethics, instead of making society better than its best unit, make it worse than its average unit, because they are never up to date.
George Bernard Shaw
Though the Life Force supplies us with its own purpose, it has no other brains to work with than those it has painfully and imperfectly evolved in our heads.
George Bernard Shaw
Power does not corrupt men fools, however, if they get into a position of power, corrupt power.
George Bernard Shaw
The poor silly-clever Irishman takes off his hat to God's Englishman.
George Bernard Shaw
As 99 per cent of English authors and 100 per cent of American ones [authors] are just such imbeciles, managers and publishers make a practice of asking for every right the author possesses.
George Bernard Shaw
A moderately honest man with a moderately faithful wife, moderate drinkers both, in a moderately healthy house: that is the true middle class unit.
George Bernard Shaw
Whenever an obviously well founded statement is made in England by a person specially well acquainted with the facts, that unlucky person is instantly and frantically contradicted by all the people who obviously know nothing about it.
George Bernard Shaw
If you injure your neighbour, better not do it by halves.
George Bernard Shaw
The love of economy is the root of all virtue.
George Bernard Shaw
I dread success. To have succeeded is to have finished one's business on earth, like the male spider who is killed by the female the moment he has succeeded in his courtship. I like the state of continual becoming, with a goal in front and not behind.
George Bernard Shaw
Power is the faculty or capacity to act, the strength and potency to accomplish something.
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
Take care to get what you like or you will be forced to like what you get.
George Bernard Shaw
The most revolutionary invention of the Nineteenth Century was the artificial sterilization of marriage.
George Bernard Shaw
Never fret for an only son, the idea of failure will never occur to him.
George Bernard Shaw
