More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
We must not stay as we are, doing always what was done last time or we shall stick in the mud.
George Bernard Shaw
Freedom, my good girl, means being able to count on how other people will behave.
George Bernard Shaw
There have been summits of civilization at which heretics like Socrates , who was killed because he was wiser than his neighbors, have not been tortured, but ordered to kill themselves in the most painless manner known to their judges. But from that summit there was a speedy relapse into our present savagery.
George Bernard Shaw
The vilest abortionist is he who attempts to mould a child's character.
George Bernard Shaw
Any belief worth having must survive doubt
George Bernard Shaw
As I write, there is a craze for what is called psychoanalysis, or the cure of diseases by explaining to the patient what is the matter with him: an excellent plan if you happen to know what is the matter with him, especially when the explanation is that there is nothing the matter with him.
George Bernard Shaw
Be like the sun and meadow, which are not in the least concerned about the coming winter.
George Bernard Shaw
Whether you think Jesus was God or not, you must admit he was a first-rate political economist.
George Bernard Shaw
We call the one side [of humanity] religion, and we call the other science. Religion is always right. ... Science is always wrong it is the very artifice of men. Science can never solve one problem without raising ten more problems.
George Bernard Shaw
As to spelling the very frequent word though with six letters instead of two, it is impossible to discuss it, as it is outside the range of common sanity. In comparison such a monstrosity as phlegm for flem is merely disgusting.
George Bernard Shaw
Instead of Otello being an Italian opera written in the style of Shakespeare, Othello is a play written by Shakespeare in the style of Italian opera.
George Bernard Shaw
I often quote myself. It adds spice to my conversation.
George Bernard Shaw
Marry Ann and at the end of a week you'll find no more inspiration in her than in a plate of muffins.
George Bernard Shaw
Hate is the revenge of a coward intimidated.
George Bernard Shaw
The Englishmen is at his best on the links and at his worst in the Cabinet.
George Bernard Shaw
[Chess] is a foolish expedient for making idle people believe they are doing something very clever, when they are only wasting their time.
George Bernard Shaw
Popular Christianity has for its emblem a gibbet, for its chief sensation a sanginary execution after torture, for its central mystery is an insane vengeance bought off by a trumpery expiation. But there is a nobler and profounder Christianity which affirms the sacred mystery of equality and forbids the glaring futility and folly of vengeance.
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
We learn from history that we learn nothing from history.
George Bernard Shaw
The only secrets are the secrets that keep themselves.
George Bernard Shaw
