George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
There have been summits of civilization at which heretics like Socrates , who was killed because he was wiser than his neighbors, have not been tortured, but ordered to kill themselves in the most painless manner known to their judges. But from that summit there was a speedy relapse into our present savagery.
George Bernard Shaw
Nietzche . . . he was a confirmed Life Force worshipper. It was he who raked up the Superman, who is as old as Prometheus and the 20th century will run after this newest of the old crazes when it gets tired of the world, the flesh, and your humble servant.
George Bernard Shaw
All progress is due to the unreasonable person.
George Bernard Shaw
Vulgarity is a necessary part of a complete author's equipment and the clown is sometimes the best part of the circus.
George Bernard Shaw
What really flatters a man is that you think him worth flattering.
George Bernard Shaw
The nation's morals are like its teeth: the more decayed they are the more it hurts to touch them.
George Bernard Shaw
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world the unreasonable one persists to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.
George Bernard Shaw
I believe in the discipline of silence, and could talk for hours about it.
George Bernard Shaw
Men are always thinking that they are going to do something grandly wicked to their enemies but when it comes to the point, really bad men are just as rare as really good ones.
George Bernard Shaw
