More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
A man never tells you anything until you contradict him.
George Bernard Shaw
We call the one side [of humanity] religion, and we call the other science. Religion is always right. ... Science is always wrong it is the very artifice of men. Science can never solve one problem without raising ten more problems.
George Bernard Shaw
A moderately honest man with a moderately faithful wife, moderate drinkers both, in a moderately healthy house: that is the true middle class unit.
George Bernard Shaw
Nobel Prize money is a life-belt thrown to a swimmer who has already reached the shore in safety.
George Bernard Shaw
He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches.
George Bernard Shaw
My heart, my heart, be whole and free: Love is thine only enemy.
George Bernard Shaw
The only secrets are the secrets that keep themselves.
George Bernard Shaw
You're only a beginner and what you think is love, and interest, and all that, is not real love at all: three quarters of it is only unsatisfied curiosity.
George Bernard Shaw
It is nearly 50 years since I was assured by a conclave of doctors that if I did not eat meat I should die of starvation.
George Bernard Shaw
Make me a beautiful word for doing things tomorrow for that surely is a great and blessed invention.
George Bernard Shaw
Men trifle with their business and their politics but never trifle with their games. It brings truth home to them. They cannot pretend they have won when they have lost nor that they had a magnificent drive when they foozled it. The Englishman is at his best on the links and at his worst in the Cabinet.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
Remember always that the least plain sister is the family beauty.
George Bernard Shaw
In a stupid nation the man of genius becomes a god : everybody worships him and nobody does his will.
George Bernard Shaw
It exasperated her to think that the dungeon in which she had languished for so many unhappy years had been unlocked all the time, and that the impulses she had so carefully struggled with and stifled for the sake of keeping well with society, were precisely those by which alone she could have come into any sort of sincere human contact.
George Bernard Shaw
I'm sick of all the reasonable people: they see all the reasons for doing nothing
George Bernard Shaw
To the person with a toothache, even if the world is tottering, there is nothing more important than a visit to a dentist.
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
Just as I cannot remember any time when I could not read and write, I cannot remember any time when I did not exercise my imagination in daydreams about women.
George Bernard Shaw
In gambling the many must lose in order that the few may win.
George Bernard Shaw
