George Bernard Shaw
If you must hold yourself up to your children as an object lesson, hold yourself up as a warning and not as an example.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
It is easy - terribly easy - to shake a man's faith in himself. To take advantage of that to break a man's spirit is devil's work.
George Bernard Shaw
We are sick of war, we don't want to fight, And yet we gorge ourselves upon the dead.
George Bernard Shaw
You can feel nothing but a torment, and believe nothing but a lie. You will not raise your head to look at all the miracles of life that surround you but you will run ten miles to see a fight or a death.
George Bernard Shaw
The devil can quote Shakespeare for his own purpose.
George Bernard Shaw
Life at its noblest leaves mere happiness far behind and indeed cannot endure it. Happiness is not the object of life: life has no object: it is an end in itself and courage consists in the readiness to sacrifice happiness for an intenser quality of life.
George Bernard Shaw
An idea that no one believes can not be proved too often.
George Bernard Shaw
Anarchism is a game at which the police can beat you.
George Bernard Shaw
Whenever you wish to do anything against the law, Cicely, always consult a good solicitor first.
George Bernard Shaw
Live in contact with dreams and you will get something of their charm: live in contact with facts and you will get something of their brutality. I wish I could find a country to live in where the facts were not brutal and the dreams not real.
George Bernard Shaw
