More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
Youth is a wonderful thing. What a crime to waste it on children.
George Bernard Shaw
I myself have been particularly careful never to say a civil word to the United States. I have scoffed at their inhabitants as a nation of villagers. I have defined the 100 % American as 99 % an idiot. And they adore me.
George Bernard Shaw
Political necessities sometime turn out to be political mistakes.
George Bernard Shaw
The conversion of a savage to Christianity is the conversion of Christianity to savagery.
George Bernard Shaw
Though I can make my extravaganzas appear credible, I cannot make the truth appear so.
George Bernard Shaw
It's usually pointed out that women are not fit for political power, and ought not to be trusted with a vote because they are politically ignorant, socially prejudiced, narrow-minded, and selfish. True enough, but precisely the same is true of men!
George Bernard Shaw
Atrocities are not less atrocities when they occur in laboratories and are called medical research.
George Bernard Shaw
Never repeat old grievances.
George Bernard Shaw
You do not settle whether an argument is justified by merely showing that it is of some use. The distinction is not between useful and useless experiments but between barbarous and civilized behaviour. Vivisection is a social evil because if it advances human knowledge, it does so at the expense of human character.
George Bernard Shaw
It is doubtless wise, when a reform is introduced, to try to persuade the British public that it is not a reform at all but appearances must be kept up to some extent at least.
George Bernard Shaw
The harder I work the more I live.
George Bernard Shaw
What a heartbreaking job it is trying to combine authors for their own protection... the first lesson I learned was that when you take the field for the authors you will be safer without a breastplate than without a backplate.
George Bernard Shaw
People have pointed out evidences of personal feeling in my notices as if they were accusing me of a misdemeanor, not knowing that criticism written without personal feeling is not worth reading. It is the capacity for making good or bad art a personal matter that makes a man a critic.
George Bernard Shaw
The pianoforte is the most important of all musical instruments its invention was to music what the invention of printing was to poetry.
George Bernard Shaw
Old men are dangerous: it doesn't matter to them what is going to happen to the world.
George Bernard Shaw
Parentage is a very important profession, but no test of fitness for it is ever imposed in the interest of the children.
George Bernard Shaw
Happiness and Beauty are by-products.
George Bernard Shaw
He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches.
George Bernard Shaw
A man who desires to get married should know everything or nothing.
George Bernard Shaw
All evolution in thought and conduct must at first appear as heresy and misconduct.
George Bernard Shaw
