George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
We should find ourselves committed to killing a great many people whom we now leave living, and to leave living a great many people whom we at present kill. We should have to get rid of all ideas about capital punishment.
George Bernard Shaw
Remember that the progress of the world depends on your knowing better than your elders.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
The harder I work the more I live.
George Bernard Shaw
Every child has a right to its own bent. . . . It has a right to find its own way and go its own way, whether that way seems wise or foolish to others, exactly as an adult has. It has a right to privacy as to its own doings and its own affairs as much as if it were its own father.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
All classes in proportion to their lack of travel and familiarity with foreign literature are bellicose, prejudiced against foreigners, fond of fighting as a cruel sport - in short, dog-like in their notions of foreign policy.
George Bernard Shaw
If we have come to think that the nursery and the kitchen are the natural sphere of a woman, we have done so exactly as English children come to think that a cage is the natural sphere of a parrot: because they have never seen one anywhere else.
George Bernard Shaw
A photographer is like a cod, which produces a million eggs in order that one may reach maturity.
George Bernard Shaw
Hate is the revenge of a coward intimidated.
George Bernard Shaw
Happiness and Beauty are by-products.
George Bernard Shaw
I aint such a mug as to put up my children to all I know myself.
George Bernard Shaw
