George Bernard Shaw
Never repeat old grievances.
George Bernard Shaw
Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all others because you were born in it.
George Bernard Shaw
If a man is indolent, let him be poor. If he is drunken, let him be poor.... Also--somewhat inconsistently--blessed are the poor!
George Bernard Shaw
People have pointed out evidences of personal feeling in my notices as if they were accusing me of a misdemeanor, not knowing that criticism written without personal feeling is not worth reading. It is the capacity for making good or bad art a personal matter that makes a man a critic.
George Bernard Shaw
A miracle is an event which creates faith. That is the purpose and nature of miracles. Frauds deceive. An event which creates faith does not deceive: therefore it is not a fraud, but a miracle.
George Bernard Shaw
When a heretic wishes to avoid martyrdom he speaks of Orthodoxy, True and False and demonstrates that the True is his heresy.
George Bernard Shaw
The great danger of conversion in all ages has been that when the religion of the high mind is offered to the lower mind, the lower mind, feeling its fascination without understanding it, and being incapable of rising to it, drags it down to its level by degrading it.
George Bernard Shaw
The real moment of success is not the moment apparent to the crowd.
George Bernard Shaw
Nothing is worth doing unless the consequences may be serious.
George Bernard Shaw
There is only one belief that can rob death of its sting and the grave of its victory. For without that you cannot be born again.
George Bernard Shaw
The censorship method ... is that of handing the job over to some frail and erring mortal man, and making him omnipotent on the assumption that his official status will make him infallible and omniscient.
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
When God created man and woman, he did not take a patent. That's why any imbecile has been able to do so ever since.
George Bernard Shaw
It is said that every people has the Government it deserves. It is more to the point that every Government has the electorate it deserves for the orator of the front bench can edify or debauch an ignorant electorate at will.
George Bernard Shaw
Only on paper has humanity yet achieved glory, beauty, truth, knowledge, virtue, and abiding love.
George Bernard Shaw
When you prevent me from doing anything I want to do, that is persecution when I prevent you from doing anything you want to do, that is law, order, and morals.
George Bernard Shaw
Modern poverty is not the poverty that was blest in the Sermon on the Mount.
George Bernard Shaw
He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches.
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
