George Bernard Shaw
Lack of money is the root of of all evil.
George Bernard Shaw
Am reserving two tickets for you for my premiere. Come and bring a friend - if you have one. Telegram inviting Winston Churchill to opening night of Pygmalion. Churchill wired back: Impossible to be present for the first performance. Will attend the second - if there is one.
George Bernard Shaw
All great art and literature is propaganda.
George Bernard Shaw
Men are wise in proportion, not to their experience, but to their capacity for experience.
George Bernard Shaw
There is nothing on earth more exquisite than a bonny book, with well-placed columns of rich black writing in beautiful borders, and illuminated pictures cunningly inset. But nowadays, instead of looking at books, people read them. A book might as well be one of those orders for bacon and bran.
George Bernard Shaw

If I refuse to allow my leg to be amputated, its mortification and my death may prove that I was wrong but if I let the leg go, nobody can ever prove that it would not have mortified had I been obstinate. Operation is therefore the safe side for the surgeon as well as the lucrative side.
George Bernard Shaw
I am a brigand: I live by robbing the rich.' 'I am a gentleman: I live by robbing the poor.
George Bernard Shaw
When men die of disease they are said to die from natural causes. When they recover (and mostly they do) the doctor gets the credit of curing them.
George Bernard Shaw
We learn from history that we learn nothing from history.
George Bernard Shaw
Women have been a ghastly nuisance in my life.
George Bernard Shaw
I dread success. To have succeeded is to have finished one's business on earth, like the male spider who is killed by the female the moment he has succeeded in his courtship. I like the state of continual becoming, with a goal in front and not behind.
George Bernard Shaw
There is only one person an English girl hates more than she hates her elder sister and that is her mother.
George Bernard Shaw
My friend, when a man has anything to tell in this world, the difficulty is not to make him tell it, but to prevent him from telling it too often.
George Bernard Shaw
All great truths begin as blasphemies.
George Bernard Shaw
If you can't get rid of the skeleton in your closet, you'd best teach it to dance.
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
It is courage, courage, courage, that raises the blood of life to crimson splendor.
George Bernard Shaw
Some persons, by hating vice too much, come to love men too little. Hatred is self-punishment. Hatred is the cowards revenge for being intimidated.
George Bernard Shaw
