More quotes by George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw

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
Very few people can afford to be poor.
George Bernard Shaw
No severity of punishment deters when detection is uncertain, as it always must be.
George Bernard Shaw
It is not that I am so clever it is that everyone else is so stupid.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
Don't waste time collecting other people's autographs rather devote it to making your own autograph worth collecting.
George Bernard Shaw
Those who can’t change their minds can’t change anything.
George Bernard Shaw
Nothing makes a man so selfish as work.
George Bernard Shaw
People exaggerate the value of things they haven't got everybody worships truth and unselfishness because they have no experience with them
George Bernard Shaw
Kings are not born: they are made by artificial hallucination.
George Bernard Shaw
We want a few mad people now. See where the sane ones have landed us!
George Bernard Shaw
