More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
No man can be a pure specialist without being in the strict sense an idiot.
George Bernard Shaw
The most anxious man in a prison is the governor.
George Bernard Shaw
As an old soldier, I admit the cowardice: it's as universal as seasickness, and matters just as little.
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
Cruelty would be delicious if one could only find some sort of cruelty that didn't really hurt.
George Bernard Shaw
The greatest thing in life is to die young - but delay it as long as possible.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
We throw the whole drudgery of creation on one sex, and then imply that no female of any delicacy would initiate any effort in that direction.
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
Nationalism must now be added to the refuse pile of superstitions. We are now citizens of the world, and the man who divides the race into elect Irishmen and reprobate foreign devils (especially Englishmen) had better live on the Blaskets where he can admire himself without disturbance.
George Bernard Shaw
Justice is justice though it's always delayed and finally done only by mistake.
George Bernard Shaw
When you find something funny search it for hidden truth.
George Bernard Shaw
My rank is the highest known in Switzerland: I'm a free citizen.
George Bernard Shaw
Poverty doesn't bring unhappiness it brings degradation.
George Bernard Shaw
The devil can quote Shakespeare for his own purpose.
George Bernard Shaw
You can feel nothing but a torment, and believe nothing but a lie. You will not raise your head to look at all the miracles of life that surround you but you will run ten miles to see a fight or a death.
George Bernard Shaw
Every man deserves to be judged in the context of his times.
George Bernard Shaw
Get out of my way for I won't stop for you.
George Bernard Shaw
Fine art is the only teacher except torture.
George Bernard Shaw
Somemenare bornkings and someare bornstatesmen. The two are seldom the same.
George Bernard Shaw
