More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
It's a pity youth is wasted on the young.
George Bernard Shaw
I showed my appreciation of my native land in the usual Irish way: by getting out of it as soon as I possibly could.
George Bernard Shaw
Which painting in the National Gallery would I save if there was a fire? The one nearest the door of course.
George Bernard Shaw
Popular Christianity has for its emblem a gibbet, for its chief sensation a sanginary execution after torture, for its central mystery is an insane vengeance bought off by a trumpery expiation. But there is a nobler and profounder Christianity which affirms the sacred mystery of equality and forbids the glaring futility and folly of vengeance.
George Bernard Shaw
Though all society is founded on intolerance, all improvement is founded on tolerance.
George Bernard Shaw
A man of my spiritual intensity does not eat corpses.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
Nothing soothes me more after a long and maddening course of pianoforte recitals than to sit and have my teeth drilled.
George Bernard Shaw
Nothing is worth doing unless the consequences may be serious.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
No king on earth is as safe in his job as a Trade Union official. There is only one thing that can get him sacked and that is drink. Not even that, as long as he doesn't actually fall down.
George Bernard Shaw
Property is organized robbery.
George Bernard Shaw
What man really wishes to do he will find a means of doing.
George Bernard Shaw
The whole strength of England lies in the fact that the enormous majority of the English people are snobs.
George Bernard Shaw
The real moment of success is not the moment apparent to the crowd.
George Bernard Shaw
Why should we take advice on sex from the pope? If he knows anything about it, he shouldn't!
George Bernard Shaw
