More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
Be as romantic as you please about love ... but you mustn't be romantic about money.
George Bernard Shaw
What is life but a series of inspired follies.
George Bernard Shaw
Sister, you're trying to keep me alive as an old curiosity, but I'm done, I'm finished, I'm going to die.
George Bernard Shaw
Style is effectiveness of assertion.
George Bernard Shaw
It's a pity youth is wasted on the young.
George Bernard Shaw
I work as my father drank.
George Bernard Shaw
What Englishman will give his mind to politics as long as he can afford to keep a motor car?
George Bernard Shaw
Now of all the idealist abominations that make society pestiferous I doubt if there be any so mean as that of forcing self-sacrifice on a woman under the pretense that she likes it.
George Bernard Shaw
When you prevent me from doing anything I want to do, that is persecution when I prevent you from doing anything you want to do, that is law, order, and morals.
George Bernard Shaw
Always strive to find out what to do by thinking, without asking anybody. If you continually do this, you will soon act like a grown-up woman. For want of doing this, a very great number of grown-up people act like children.
George Bernard Shaw
Don't order any black things. Rejoice in his memory and be radiant: leave grief to the children. Wear violet and purple. Be patient with the poor people who will snivel: they don't know and they think they will live for ever, which makes death a division instead of a bond.
George Bernard Shaw
Unless comedy touches me as well as amuses me, it leaves me with a sense of having wasted my evening. I go to the theatre to be moved to laughter, not to be tickled or bustled into it.
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
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
Every fool believes what his teachers tell him, and calls his credulity science or morality as confidently as his father called it divine revelation.
George Bernard Shaw
The test of good education is seeing how it behaves in a fight.
George Bernard Shaw
I have my own soul. My own spark of divine fire.
George Bernard Shaw
Vivisection is a social evil because if it advances human knowledge, it does so at the expense of human character.
George Bernard Shaw
Men trifle with their business and their politics but never trifle with their games. It brings truth home to them. They cannot pretend they have won when they have lost nor that they had a magnificent drive when they foozled it. The Englishman is at his best on the links and at his worst in the Cabinet.
George Bernard Shaw
I do not waste my time writing pot-boilers: the pot must be boiled, and even my pot au feu has some chunks of fresh meat in it. ...I have no time to boil myself down and anyhow I could not do so and preserve all the necessary nutriment and the flavoring on which the digestibility depends.
George Bernard Shaw
