More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
Man can climb to the highest summits, but he cannot dwell there long.
George Bernard Shaw
I am afraid we must make the world honest before we can honestly say to our children that honesty is the best policy.
George Bernard Shaw
As 99 per cent of English authors and 100 per cent of American ones [authors] are just such imbeciles, managers and publishers make a practice of asking for every right the author possesses.
George Bernard Shaw
Nothing is more dreadful than a husband who keeps telling you everything he thinks, and always wants to know what you think.
George Bernard Shaw
When a bishop at the first shot abandons the worship of Christ and rallies his flock round the altar of Mars, he may be acting patriotically... but that does not justify him in pretending...that Christ is, in effect, Mars.
George Bernard Shaw
Atrocities are not less atrocities when they occur in laboratories and are called medical research.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
Journalists are too poorly paid in this country to know anything that is fit for publication.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw

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
No community has ever yet passed beyond the initial phases in which its pugnacity and fanaticism enabled it to found a nation, and its cupidity to establish and develop a commercial civilization.
George Bernard Shaw
Cruelty would be delicious if one could only find some sort of cruelty that didn't really hurt.
George Bernard Shaw
Nothing can save us from a perpetual headlong fall into a bottomless abyss but a solid footing of dogma and we no sooner agree to that than we find that the only trustworthy dogma is that there is no dogma.
George Bernard Shaw
Those who talk most about the blessings of marriage and the constancy of its vows are the very people who declare that if the chain were broken and the prisoners left free to choose, the whole social fabric would fly asunder. You cannot have the argument both ways. If the prisoner is happy, why lock him in? If he is not, why pretend that he is?
George Bernard Shaw
The one point on which all women are in furious secret rebellion against the existing law is the saddling of the right to a child with the obligation to become the servant of a man.
George Bernard Shaw
First really like is just a little bit foolishness as well as a lot of curiosity. No actually self-respecting girl would reap the benefits of it.
George Bernard Shaw
We are told that when Jehovah created the world he saw that it was good what would he say now
George Bernard Shaw
