More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
When a man says money can do anything, that settles it: he hasn't got any.
George Bernard Shaw
As well consult a butcher on the value of vegetarianism as a doctor on the worth of vaccination.
George Bernard Shaw
We know now that the soul is the body, and the body the soul. They tell us they are different because they want to persuade us that we can keep our souls if we let them make slaves of our bodies.
George Bernard Shaw
People have pointed out evidences of personal feeling in my notices as if they were accusing me of a misdemeanor, not knowing that criticism written without personal feeling is not worth reading. It is the capacity for making good or bad art a personal matter that makes a man a critic.
George Bernard Shaw
Property is organized robbery.
George Bernard Shaw
We are the masters at the moment, and not only at the moment, but for a very long time to come.
George Bernard Shaw
A man ought to be able to be fond of his wife without making a fool of himself about her.
George Bernard Shaw
All progress is due to the unreasonable person.
George Bernard Shaw
Few of us have vitality enough to make any of our instincts imperious.
George Bernard Shaw
The great advantage of a hotel is that it is a refuge from home life.
George Bernard Shaw
All roads end at the grave, which is the gate to nothingness.
George Bernard Shaw
Where there is no knowledge ignorance calls itself science.
George Bernard Shaw
The American white relegates the black to the rank of shoeshine boy and he concludes from this that the black is good for nothing but shining shoes.
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
Great art is never produced for its own sake. It is too difficult to be worth the effort.
George Bernard Shaw
Remember always that the least plain sister is the family beauty.
George Bernard Shaw
The unconscious self is the real genius. Your breathing goes wrong the moment your conscious self meddles with it.
George Bernard Shaw
I dread success. To have succeeded is to have finished one's business on earth, like the male spider who is killed by the female the moment he has succeeded in his courtship. I like the state of continual becoming, with a goal in front and not behind.
George Bernard Shaw
Violence is the repartee of the illiterate.
George Bernard Shaw
Gardening is the only unquestionably useful job.
George Bernard Shaw
