More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
It is easy - terribly easy - to shake a man's faith in himself. To take advantage of that to break a man's spirit is devil's work.
George Bernard Shaw
It was from Handel that I learned that style consists in force of assertion.
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
If all the economists were laid end to end, they'd never reach a conclusion.
George Bernard Shaw
When I was young, I observed that nine out of ten things I did were failures. So I did ten times more work.
George Bernard Shaw
Gambling promises the poor what property performs for the rich-something for nothing.
George Bernard Shaw
In literature the ambition of the novice is to acquire the literary language the struggle of the adept is to get rid of it.
George Bernard Shaw
I believe in Michelangelo, Velasquez, and Rembrandt in the might of design, the mystery of color, the redemption of all things by Beauty everlasting, and the message of Art that has made these hands blessed. Amen. Amen.
George Bernard Shaw
Go on writing plays, my boy, One of these days one of these London producers will go into his office and say to his secretary, Is there a play from Shaw this morning? and when she says, No, he will say, Well, then we'll have to start on the rubbish. And that's your chance, my boy.
George Bernard Shaw
Never waste jealousy on a real man: it is the imaginary man that supplants us all in the long run.
George Bernard Shaw
Poverty doesn't bring unhappiness it brings degradation.
George Bernard Shaw
From a very early age, I've had to interrupt my education to go to school.
George Bernard Shaw
Such poverty as we have today in all our great cities degrades the poor, and infects with its degradation the whole neighborhood in which they live. And whatever can degrade a neighborhood can degrade a country and a continent and finally the whole civilized world, which is only a large neighborhood.
George Bernard Shaw
Affection between adults - if they are really adult in mind and not merely grown up children - and creatures so relatively selfish and cruel as children necessarily are without knowing it or meaning it, cannot be called natural.
George Bernard Shaw
Unless comedy touches me as well as amuses me, it leaves me with a sense of having wasted my evening. I go to the theatre to be moved to laughter, not to be tickled or bustled into it.
George Bernard Shaw
We know there is intention and purpose in the universe, because there is intention and purpose in us.
George Bernard Shaw
Those who talk most about the blessings of marriage and the constancy of its vows are the very people who declare that if the chain were broken and the prisoners left free to choose, the whole social fabric would fly asunder. You cannot have the argument both ways. If the prisoner is happy, why lock him in? If he is not, why pretend that he is?
George Bernard Shaw
Few of us have vitality enough to make any of our instincts imperious.
George Bernard Shaw
Atrocities are not less atrocities when they occur in laboratories and are called medical research.
George Bernard Shaw
Taking all the round of professions and occupations, you will find that every man is the worse for being poor and the doctor is a specially dangerous man when poor.
George Bernard Shaw
