George Bernard Shaw
Affection between adults - if they are really adult in mind and not merely grown up children - and creatures so relatively selfish and cruel as children necessarily are without knowing it or meaning it, cannot be called natural.
George Bernard Shaw
You can easily find people who are ten times as rich at sixty as they were at twenty but not one of them will tell you that they are ten times as happy
George Bernard Shaw
It is long and hard and painful to create life: it is short and easy to steal the life others have made.
George Bernard Shaw

After all, the wrong road always leads somewhere.
George Bernard Shaw
You are my inspiration and my folly. You are my light across the sea, my million nameless joys, and my day's wage. You are my divinity, my madness, my selfishness, my transfiguration and purification. You are my rapscallionly fellow vagabond, my tempter and star. I want you.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
Power does not corrupt men fools, however, if they get into a position of power, corrupt power.
George Bernard Shaw
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world the unreasonable one persists to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.
George Bernard Shaw
It is courage, courage, courage, that raises the blood of life to crimson splendor.
George Bernard Shaw
There is only one universal passion fear.
George Bernard Shaw
In a battle all you need to make you fight is a little hot blood and the knowledge that it's more dangerous to lose than to win.
George Bernard Shaw
A vegetarian is not a person who lives on vegetables, any more than a Catholic is a person who lives on cats.
George Bernard Shaw
I do not waste my time writing pot-boilers: the pot must be boiled, and even my pot au feu has some chunks of fresh meat in it. ...I have no time to boil myself down and anyhow I could not do so and preserve all the necessary nutriment and the flavoring on which the digestibility depends.
George Bernard Shaw
Better see rightly on a pound a week than squint on a million.
George Bernard Shaw
My only policy is to profess evil and do good.
George Bernard Shaw
You are all fundamentalists with a top dressing of science. That is why you are the stupidest of conservatives and reactionists in politics and the most bigoted of obstructionists in science itself. When it comes to getting a move on you are all of the same opinion: stop it, flog it, hang it, dynamite it, stamp it out.
George Bernard Shaw
