More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
Even the youngest of us may be wrong sometimes.
George Bernard Shaw
The doctor learns that if he gets ahead of the superstitions of his patients he is a ruined man and the result is that he instinctively takes care not to get ahead of them.
George Bernard Shaw
Keep away from books and from men who get their ideas from books, and your own books will always be fresh.
George Bernard Shaw

There may be some doubt as to who are the best people to have charge of children, but there can be no doubt that parents are the worst.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
Not everybody is strong enough to endure life without an anesthetic. Drink probably averts more gross crime than it causes.
George Bernard Shaw
Hegel was right when he said that we learn from history that men never learn anything from history.
George Bernard Shaw
Schools and schoolmasters, as we have them today, are not popular as places of education and teachers, but rather prisons and turnkeys in which children are kept to prevent them disturbing and chaperoning their parent.
George Bernard Shaw
It is necessary for the welfare of society that genius should be privileged to utter sedition, to blaspheme, to outrage good taste, to corrupt the youthful mind, and generally to scandalize one's uncles.
George Bernard Shaw
Time enough to think of the future when you haven't any future to think of.
George Bernard Shaw
If there was nothing wrong in the world there wouldn't be anything for us to do.
George Bernard Shaw
There are scores of thousands of human insects who are ready at a moment's notice to reveal the Will of God on every possible subject
George Bernard Shaw
All dress is fancy dress, is it not, except our natural skins?
George Bernard Shaw
There is no accomplishment so easy to acquire as politeness and none more profitable.
George Bernard Shaw
The unconscious self is the real genius. Your breathing goes wrong the moment your conscious self meddles with it.
George Bernard Shaw
Make me a beautiful word for doing things tomorrow for that surely is a great and blessed invention.
George Bernard Shaw
