More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
Youth is just wasted on young people.
George Bernard Shaw
The plain working truth is that it is not only good for people to be shocked occasionally, but absolutely necessary to the progress of society that they should be shocked pretty often.
George Bernard Shaw
The criminal law is no use to decent people.
George Bernard Shaw
Nothing makes a man so selfish as work.
George Bernard Shaw
If we have come to think that the nursery and the kitchen are the natural sphere of a woman, we have done so exactly as English children come to think that a cage is the natural sphere of a parrot: because they have never seen one anywhere else.
George Bernard Shaw
A critic is one who leaves no turn unstoned.
George Bernard Shaw
Nationalism must now be added to the refuse pile of superstitions. We are now citizens of the world, and the man who divides the race into elect Irishmen and reprobate foreign devils (especially Englishmen) had better live on the Blaskets where he can admire himself without disturbance.
George Bernard Shaw
All progress is due to the unreasonable person.
George Bernard Shaw
He never does a proper thing without giving an improper reason for it.
George Bernard Shaw
Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all others because you were born in it.
George Bernard Shaw
Better never than late.
George Bernard Shaw
Of the two lots, the woman's lot of perpetual motherhood, and the man's of perpetual babyhood, I prefer the man's.
George Bernard Shaw
Whisky is liquid sunshine.
George Bernard Shaw
A critic recently described me, with deadly acuteness, as having 'a kindly dislike of my fellow-creatures.' Perhaps dread would have been nearer the mark than dislike for man is the only animal of which I am thoroughly and cravenly afraid.
George Bernard Shaw
If only for a half hour a day, a child should do something serviceable to the community
George Bernard Shaw
Don't lose faith. Promise yourself that you will be a success story, and I promise you that all the forces of the universe will unite to come to your aid you might not feel today or for a while, but the longer you wait the bigger the prize.
George Bernard Shaw
There is nothing so bad or so good that you will not find Englishmen doing it but you will never find an Englishman in the wrong. He does everything on principle.
George Bernard Shaw
You accepted Allah or you had your throat cut by someone who did accept him, and who went to Paradise for having sent you to Hell.
George Bernard Shaw
England and America are two countries separated by the same language.
George Bernard Shaw
Choose silence of all virtues, for by it you hear other men's imperfections, and conceal your own.
George Bernard Shaw
