More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
I lay my eternal curse on whomsoever shall now or at any time hereafter make schoolbooks of my works and make me hated as Shakespeare is hated. My plays were not designed as instruments of torture. All the schools that lust after them get this answer, and will never get any other.
George Bernard Shaw
Brigham Young lived to become immortal in history as an American Moses by leading his people through the wilderness into an unpromised land.
George Bernard Shaw
The politician who once had to learn to flatter Kings has now to learn how to fascinate, amuse, coax, humbug, frighten, or otherwise strike the fancy of the electorate.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
Such poverty as we have today in all our great cities degrades the poor, and infects with its degradation the whole neighborhood in which they live. And whatever can degrade a neighborhood can degrade a country and a continent and finally the whole civilized world, which is only a large neighborhood.
George Bernard Shaw
It is difficult, if not impossible, for most people to think otherwise than in the fashion of their own period.
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
As well consult a butcher on the value of vegetarianism as a doctor on the worth of vaccination.
George Bernard Shaw
Silence is the most perfect expression of scorn.
George Bernard Shaw
If I bind the future I bind my will. If I bind my will I strangle creation.
George Bernard Shaw
We should have had socialism already, but for the socialists, am quite willing to drop the name if dropping it will help me to get the thing.
George Bernard Shaw
The more reasonable a student was in mathematics, the more unreasonable she was in the affairs of real life, concerning which fewtrustworthy postulates have yet been ascertained.
George Bernard Shaw
Social questions are too sectional, too topical, too temporal to move a man to the mighty effort which is needed to produce greatpoetry. Prison reform may nerve Charles Reade to produce an effective and businesslike prose melodrama but it could never produce Hamlet, Faust, or Peer Gynt.
George Bernard Shaw
