More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
Civilized society is one huge bourgeoisie: no nobleman dares now shock his greengrocer.
George Bernard Shaw
You are my inspiration and my folly. You are my light across the sea, my million nameless joys, and my day's wage. You are my divinity, my madness, my selfishness, my transfiguration and purification. You are my rapscallionly fellow vagabond, my tempter and star. I want you.
George Bernard Shaw
I have defined the hundred per cent American as ninety-nine per cent an idiot.
George Bernard Shaw
Get married, but never to a man who is home all day.
George Bernard Shaw
Laws, religions, creeds, and systems of ethics, instead of making society better than its best unit, make it worse than its average unit, because they are never up to date.
George Bernard Shaw
Marriage is an alliance entered into by a man who can't sleep with the window shut, and a woman who can't sleep with the window open.
George Bernard Shaw
Never repeat old grievances.
George Bernard Shaw
England and America are two countries separated by the same language.

Don't lose faith. Promise yourself that you will be a success story, and I promise you that all the forces of the universe will unite to come to your aid you might not feel today or for a while, but the longer you wait the bigger the prize.
George Bernard Shaw
Captain Shotover: How much does your soul eat? Ellie: Oh, a lot. It eats music and pictures and books and mountains and lakes and beautiful things to wear and nice people to be with.
George Bernard Shaw
Be like the sun and meadow, which are not in the least concerned about the coming winter.
George Bernard Shaw
He who has nothing to assert has no style and can have none: he who has something to assert will go as far in power of style as its momentousness and his conviction will carry him
George Bernard Shaw
Better keep yourself clean and bright you are the window through which you must see the world.
George Bernard Shaw
Nothing is ever done in this world until men are prepared to kill one another if it is not done.
George Bernard Shaw
There is in man a specific lust for cruelty which infects even his passion of pity and makes it savage.
George Bernard Shaw
Be as romantic as you please about love ... but you mustn't be romantic about money.
George Bernard Shaw
I lay my eternal curse on whomsoever shall now or at any time hereafter make schoolbooks of my works and make me hated as Shakespeare is hated. My plays were not designed as instruments of torture. All the schools that lust after them get this answer, and will never get any other.
George Bernard Shaw
Don't waste time collecting other people's autographs rather devote it to making your own autograph worth collecting.
George Bernard Shaw
No man ever believes that the Bible means what it says: he is always convinced that it says what he means.
George Bernard Shaw
