More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
Every profession is a conspiracy against the laity.
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
The most intolerable pain is produced by prolonging the keenest pleasure.
George Bernard Shaw
The greatest thing in life is to die young - but delay it as long as possible.
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
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
The moment we face it frankly we are driven to the conclusion that the community has a right to put a price on the right to live in it
George Bernard Shaw
I have not wasted my life trifling with literary fools in taverns, as Johnson did, when he should have been shaking England with the thunder of his spirit
George Bernard Shaw
Some persons, by hating vice too much, come to love men too little. Hatred is self-punishment. Hatred is the cowards revenge for being intimidated.
George Bernard Shaw
There is only one belief that can rob death of its sting and the grave of its victory. For without that you cannot be born again.
George Bernard Shaw
Money is a most important thing in the world.
George Bernard Shaw
I no longer desire happiness: life is nobler than that.
George Bernard Shaw
Statistics show that of those who contract the habit of eating, very few survive.
George Bernard Shaw
It is the inefficiency and sham of ... our schools ... that save us from being dashed on the rocks of false doctrine instead of drifting down the midstream of mere ignorance.
George Bernard Shaw
My friend, when a man has anything to tell in this world, the difficulty is not to make him tell it, but to prevent him from telling it too often.
George Bernard Shaw
What man really wishes to do he will find a means of doing.
George Bernard Shaw
Poverty does not produce unhappiness: It produces degradation.
George Bernard Shaw
I don't like the idea of killing my fellow creatures in order to eat their dead bodies.
George Bernard Shaw
Lack of money is the root of of all evil.
George Bernard Shaw
A married man is a man with a past, while a bachelor is a man with a future.
George Bernard Shaw
