More quotes by George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
The moment we face it frankly we are driven to the conclusion that the community has a right to put a price on the right to live in it
George Bernard Shaw
We all go about longing for love: it is the first need of our natures, the loudest cry of our hearts.
George Bernard Shaw
The possibilities are numerous once we decide to act and not react.
George Bernard Shaw
Man is the only animals of which I am thoroughly and cravenly afraid.
George Bernard Shaw

(U)ntil there is a practicable alternative to blind trust in the doctor, the truth about the doctor is so terrible that we dare not face it.
George Bernard Shaw
The chief objection to playing wind instruments is that it prolongs the life of the player.
George Bernard Shaw
Bible worship, though at its best it may achieve sublimity by keeping its head in the skies, may also make itself both ridiculousand dangerous by having its feet off the ground.
George Bernard Shaw
Well, sir, you never can tell. That's a principle in life with me, sir, if you'll excuse my having such a thing.
George Bernard Shaw
Every child has a right to its own bent. . . . It has a right to find its own way and go its own way, whether that way seems wise or foolish to others, exactly as an adult has. It has a right to privacy as to its own doings and its own affairs as much as if it were its own father.
George Bernard Shaw
No question is so difficult to answer as that to which the answer is obvious.
George Bernard Shaw
The one point on which all women are in furious secret rebellion against the existing law is the saddling of the right to a child with the obligation to become the servant of a man.
George Bernard Shaw
Fine art is the only teacher except torture.
George Bernard Shaw
Where there is no religion, hypocrisy becomes good taste.
George Bernard Shaw
The quality of a play is the quality of its ideas.
George Bernard Shaw
I really don't think I could consent to go to Heaven if I thought there were no animals there.
George Bernard Shaw
