George Bernard Shaw
He never does a proper thing without giving an improper reason for it.
George Bernard Shaw
Reminiscences make one feel so deliciously aged and sad.
George Bernard Shaw
As well consult a butcher on the value of vegetarianism as a doctor on the worth of vaccination.

George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
Those who talk most about the blessings of marriage and the constancy of its vows are the very people who declare that if the chain were broken and the prisoners left free to choose, the whole social fabric would fly asunder. You cannot have the argument both ways. If the prisoner is happy, why lock him in? If he is not, why pretend that he is?
George Bernard Shaw
Fear is choosing the safe course
George Bernard Shaw
Every person who has mastered a profession is a skeptic concerning it.
George Bernard Shaw
If a man is indolent, let him be poor. If he is drunken, let him be poor.... Also--somewhat inconsistently--blessed are the poor!
George Bernard Shaw
I'm only a beer teetotaller, not a champagne teetotaller.
George Bernard Shaw
Music is the brandy of the damned.
George Bernard Shaw
