More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
If the governments devalue the currency in order to betray all creditors, you politely call this procedure 'inflation'.
George Bernard Shaw
If 'Pygmalion' is not good enough for your friends with its own verbal music, their talent must be altogether extraordinary.
George Bernard Shaw
The fickleness of the women I love is only equalled by the infernal constancy of the women who love me.
George Bernard Shaw
It is a monstrous thing to force a child to learn Latin or Greek or mathematics on the ground that they are an indispensable gymnastic for the mental powers. It would be monstrous even if it were true.
George Bernard Shaw
I prefer the man who calls his nonsense a mystery to him who who pretends it is a weighed, measured, analyzed fact.
George Bernard Shaw
The truth is, hardly any of us have ethical energy enough for more than one really inflexible point of honor.
George Bernard Shaw
Old men are dangerous: it doesn't matter to them what is going to happen to the world.
George Bernard Shaw
Geniuses are horrid, intolerant, easily offended, sleeplessly self-conscious men, who expect their wives to be angels with no further business in life than to pet and worship their husbands. Even at the best they are not comfortable men to live with and a perfect husband is one who is perfectly comfortable to live with.
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
Men get tired of everything, of heaven no less than of hell and that all history is nothing but a record of the oscillations of the world between these two extremes. An epoch is but a swing of the pendulum and each generation thinks the world is progressing because it is always moving.
George Bernard Shaw
If Despotism failed only for want of a capable benevolent despot, what chance has Democracy, which requires a whole population of capable voters.
George Bernard Shaw
Style is effectiveness of assertion.
George Bernard Shaw
First really like is just a little bit foolishness as well as a lot of curiosity. No actually self-respecting girl would reap the benefits of it.
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
He who bears the brand of Cain shall rule the earth.
George Bernard Shaw
When our relatives are at home, we have to think of all their good points or it would be impossible to endure them.
George Bernard Shaw
If women were as fastidious as men, morally or physically, there would be an end of the race.
George Bernard Shaw
Our laws make law impossible our liberties destroy all freedom our property is organized robbery our morality an impudent hypocrisy our wisdom is administered by inexperienced or mal-experienced dupes our power wielded by cowards and weaklings and our honour false in all its points. I am an enemy of the existing order for good reasons
George Bernard Shaw
Doing what needs to be done may not make you happy, but it will make you great.
George Bernard Shaw
The fact that we can become accustomed to anything, however disgusting at first, makes it necessary to examine carefully everything we have become accustomed to.
George Bernard Shaw
