George Bernard Shaw
It is doubtless wise, when a reform is introduced, to try to persuade the British public that it is not a reform at all but appearances must be kept up to some extent at least.
George Bernard Shaw
If you can't get rid of the skeleton in your closet, you'd best teach it to dance.
George Bernard Shaw
Men are wise in proportion, not to their experience, but to their capacity for experience.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
In a stupid nation the man of genius becomes a god : everybody worships him and nobody does his will.
George Bernard Shaw
In the arts of peace Man is a bungler.
George Bernard Shaw
Just as I cannot remember any time when I could not read and write, I cannot remember any time when I did not exercise my imagination in daydreams about women.
George Bernard Shaw
The pianoforte is the most important of all musical instruments its invention was to music what the invention of printing was to poetry.
George Bernard Shaw
After all, the wrong road always leads somewhere.
George Bernard Shaw
The seven deadly sins... food, clothing, firing, rent, taxes, respectability and children. Nothing can lift those seven millstones from Man's neck but money and the spirit cannot soar until the millstones are lifted.
George Bernard Shaw
Words are only postage stamps delivering the object for you to unwrap
George Bernard Shaw
It was from Handel that I learned that style consists in force of assertion.
George Bernard Shaw
All the sweetness of religion is conveyed to the world by the hands of storytellers and image-makers. Without their fictions the truths of religion would for the multitude be neither intelligible nor even apprehensible and the prophets would prophesy and the teachers teach in vain.
George Bernard Shaw
If there was nothing wrong in the world there wouldn't be anything for us to do.
George Bernard Shaw
