More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
I hope you have lost your good looks, for while they last any fool can adore you, and the adoration of fools is bad for the soul. No, give me a ruined complexion and a lost figure and sixteen chins on a farmyard of Crow's feet and an obvious wig. Then you shall see me coming out strong.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
Love is a gross exaggeration of the difference between one person and everybody else.
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
Parentage is a very important profession, but no test of fitness for it is ever imposed in the interest of the children.
George Bernard Shaw
Life levels all men. Death reveals the eminent.
George Bernard Shaw
A newspaper, not having to act on its descriptions and reports, but only to sell them to idly curious people, has nothing but honor to lose by inaccuracy and non-veracity.
George Bernard Shaw
If all the economists were laid end to end, they'd never reach a conclusion.
George Bernard Shaw
The great secret, Eliza, is not having bad manners or good manners or any other particular sort of manners, but having the same manner for all human souls: in short, behaving as if you were in Heaven, where there are no thirdclass carriages, and one soul is as good as another.
George Bernard Shaw
Man can climb to the highest summits, but he cannot dwell there long.
George Bernard Shaw
