More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
The philosopher is Nature's pilot.
George Bernard Shaw
If I refuse to allow my leg to be amputated, its mortification and my death may prove that I was wrong but if I let the leg go, nobody can ever prove that it would not have mortified had I been obstinate. Operation is therefore the safe side for the surgeon as well as the lucrative side.
George Bernard Shaw
The conversion of a savage to Christianity is the conversion of Christianity to savagery.
George Bernard Shaw
Few of us have vitality enough to make any of our instincts imperious.
George Bernard Shaw
If you can't get rid of the skeleton in your closet, you'd best teach it to dance.
George Bernard Shaw
If there was nothing wrong in the world there wouldn't be anything for us to do.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
It is impossible for an Englishman to open his mouth without making some other Englishman hate or despise him.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
A lifetime of happiness! No man alive could bear it: it would be hell on earth.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
No question is so difficult to answer as that to which the answer is obvious.
George Bernard Shaw
Such poverty as we have today in all our great cities degrades the poor, and infects with its degradation the whole neighborhood in which they live. And whatever can degrade a neighborhood can degrade a country and a continent and finally the whole civilized world, which is only a large neighborhood.
George Bernard Shaw
A modern gentleman [rich person] is necessarily the enemy of his country. Even in war he does not fight to defend it, but to prevent his power of preying on it from passing to a foreigner.
George Bernard Shaw
Taking all the round of professions and occupations, you will find that every man is the worse for being poor and the doctor is a specially dangerous man when poor.
George Bernard Shaw
Silence is the most perfect expression of scorn.
George Bernard Shaw
There is only one person an English girl hates more than she hates her elder sister and that is her mother.
George Bernard Shaw
This souls'prison we call England.
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
We have in England a curious belief in first-rate people, meaning all the people we do not know and this consoles us for the undeniable second-rateness of the people we do know.
George Bernard Shaw
