More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
A part of eugenic politics would finally land us in an extensive use of the lethal chamber. A great many people would have to be put out of existence simply because it wastes other people's time to look after them.
George Bernard Shaw
There is only one religion, though there are a hundred versions of it.
George Bernard Shaw
Only in the problem play is there any real drama, because drama is no mere setting up of the camera to nature: it is the presentation in parable of the conflict between Man's will and his environment: in a word, of problem.
George Bernard Shaw
If in the library of your house you do not have the works of the ancient Greek writers, then you live in a house with no light.
George Bernard Shaw
Wise kings wear shabby clothes, and leave the gold lace to the drum major.
George Bernard Shaw
We are told that when Jehovah created the world he saw that it was good what would he say now
George Bernard Shaw
When Satan makes impure verses, Allah sends a divine tune to cleanse them.
George Bernard Shaw
Youth, what a pity to waste it on the young.
George Bernard Shaw
Property is organized robbery.
George Bernard Shaw
Most married couples spend the whole day apart, the woman in the house, the man in the office or study or workshop.
George Bernard Shaw
It's usually pointed out that women are not fit for political power, and ought not to be trusted with a vote because they are politically ignorant, socially prejudiced, narrow-minded, and selfish. True enough, but precisely the same is true of men!
George Bernard Shaw
Activity is the only road to knowledge.
George Bernard Shaw
The quality of a play is the quality of its ideas.
George Bernard Shaw
Christianity as a specific doctrine was slain with Jesus, suddenly and utterly. He was hardly cold in his grave, or high in his heaven (as you please), before the apostles dragged the tradition of him down to the level of the thing it has remained ever since.
George Bernard Shaw
Happiness and beauty are by-products. Folly is the direct pursuit of happiness and beauty.
George Bernard Shaw
If a woman rebels against high-heeled shoes, she should take care to do it in a very smart hat
George Bernard Shaw
The practical question, then, is what to do with the children. Tolerate them at home we will not. Let them run loose in the streets we dare not until our streets become safe places for children, which, to our utter shame, they are not at present, though they can hardly be worse than some homes and some schools.
George Bernard Shaw
Every man over forty is a scoundrel.
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
Plato long ago pointed out the importance of being governed by men with sufficient sense of responsibility and comprehension of public duties to be very reluctant to undertake the work of governing.
George Bernard Shaw
