More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
Perhaps the greatest social service that can be rendered by anybody to the country and to mankind is to bring up a family. But here again, because there is nothing to sell, there is a very general disposition to regard a married woman's work as no work at all, and to take it as a matter of course that she should not be paid for it.
George Bernard Shaw
An actress is not a lady at least, when she is, she is not an actress.
George Bernard Shaw
Fashions are induced epidemics.
George Bernard Shaw
They tell me that So-and-So, who does not write prefaces, is no charlatan. Well, I am. I first caught the ear of the British public on a cart in Hyde Park, to the blaring of brass bands,and this . . . because . . . I am a natural-born mountebank.
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
The most sublime courage I have ever witnessed has been among that class too poor to know they possessed it, and too humble for the world to discover it.
George Bernard Shaw
When you find something funny search it for hidden truth.
George Bernard Shaw
As well consult a butcher on the value of vegetarianism as a doctor on the worth of vaccination.
George Bernard Shaw
You do not settle whether an argument is justified by merely showing that it is of some use. The distinction is not between useful and useless experiments but between barbarous and civilized behaviour. Vivisection is a social evil because if it advances human knowledge, it does so at the expense of human character.
George Bernard Shaw
Only fools repeat the same things over and over, expecting to obtain different results.
George Bernard Shaw
Marriage is the most licentious of human institutions.
George Bernard Shaw
Somemenare bornkings and someare bornstatesmen. The two are seldom the same.
George Bernard Shaw
Remember always that the least plain sister is the family beauty.
George Bernard Shaw
Progress is impossible without change and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.
George Bernard Shaw
Capitalism justified itself and was adopted as an economic principle on the express ground that it provides selfish motives for doing good, and that human beings will do nothing except for selfish motives
George Bernard Shaw
Jesus remains unshaken as the practical man and we stand exposed as the fools, the blunderers, the unpractical visionaries.
George Bernard Shaw
Only in the problem play is there any real drama, because drama is no mere setting up of the camera to nature: it is the presentation in parable of the conflict between Man's will and his environment: in a word, of problem.
George Bernard Shaw
If there was nothing wrong in the world there wouldn't be anything for us to do.
George Bernard Shaw
I'm one of the undeserving poor: that's what I am. Think of what that means to a man. It means that he's up agen middle class morality all the time.... What is middle class morality? Just an excuse for never giving me anything.
George Bernard Shaw
We must not stay as we are, doing always what was done last time or we shall stick in the mud.
George Bernard Shaw
