More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
Man is the only animals of which I am thoroughly and cravenly afraid.
George Bernard Shaw
Would the world ever have been made if its maker had been afraid of making trouble?Making life means making trouble. There’s only one way of escaping trouble and that’s killing things.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
Brains are not everything.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
I dread success. To have succeeded is to have finished one's business on earth, like the male spider who is killed by the female the moment he has succeeded in his courtship. I like the state of continual becoming, with a goal in front and not behind.
George Bernard Shaw
Every man over forty is a scoundrel.
George Bernard Shaw
When a stupid man is doing something he is ashamed of, he always declares that it is his duty.
George Bernard Shaw
Political necessities sometime turn out to be political mistakes.
George Bernard Shaw
I find it easy to forgive the man who invented a devilish instrument like dynamite, but how can one ever forgive the diabolical mind that invented the Nobel Prize in Literature?
George Bernard Shaw
Marriage is the most licentious of human institutions.
George Bernard Shaw
Crime is only the retail department of what, in wholesale, we call penal law.
George Bernard Shaw
Home life is no more natural to us than a cage is natural to a cockatoo.
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
