More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
Don't lose faith. Promise yourself that you will be a success story, and I promise you that all the forces of the universe will unite to come to your aid you might not feel today or for a while, but the longer you wait the bigger the prize.
George Bernard Shaw
It exasperated her to think that the dungeon in which she had languished for so many unhappy years had been unlocked all the time, and that the impulses she had so carefully struggled with and stifled for the sake of keeping well with society, were precisely those by which alone she could have come into any sort of sincere human contact.
George Bernard Shaw
I make a fortune from criticizing the policy of the government, and then hand it over to the government in taxes to keep it going.
George Bernard Shaw
When men die of disease they are said to die from natural causes. When they recover (and mostly they do) the doctor gets the credit of curing them.
George Bernard Shaw
There may be some doubt as to who are the best people to have charge of children, but there can be no doubt that parents are the worst.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
A drama critic is a man who leaves no turn unstoned.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
Liberty is the breath of life to nations.
George Bernard Shaw
Civilization is a disease produced by the practice of building societies with rotten material.
George Bernard Shaw
My main reason for adopting literature as a profession was that, as the author is never seen by his clients, he need not dress respectably.
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
If you leave your art, the world will beat you back to it. The world has not an ambition worth sharing, or a prize worth handling.
George Bernard Shaw
If women were as fastidious as men, morally or physically, there would be an end of the race.
George Bernard Shaw
I tell you that as long as I can conceive something better than myself I cannot be easy unless I am striving to bring it into existence or clearing the way for it.
George Bernard Shaw
A fashion is nothing but an induced epidemic.
George Bernard Shaw
Political necessities sometime turn out to be political mistakes.
George Bernard Shaw
When we know what God is, we shall be gods ourselves.
George Bernard Shaw
A man of my spiritual intensity does not eat corpses.
George Bernard Shaw
From a very early age, I've had to interrupt my education to go to school.
George Bernard Shaw
