George Bernard Shaw
Morals are a luxury of the rich.
George Bernard Shaw
Poverty does not produce unhappiness: It produces degradation.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
In your dread of dictators you established a state of society in which every ward boss is a dictator, every private employer a dictator, every financier a dictator, all with the livelihood of the workers at his mercy, and no public responsibility.
George Bernard Shaw
Though all society is founded on intolerance, all improvement is founded on tolerance.
George Bernard Shaw
To me the sole hope of human salvation lies in teaching.
George Bernard Shaw
The quality of a play is the quality of its ideas.
George Bernard Shaw
The poor silly-clever Irishman takes off his hat to God's Englishman.
George Bernard Shaw
Leisure may be defined as free activity, labor as compulsory activity. Leisure does what it likes, labor does what it must, the compulsion being that of Nature, which in these latitudes leaves men no choice between labor and starvation.
George Bernard Shaw
