More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
When our relatives are at home, we have to think of all their good points or it would be impossible to endure them.
George Bernard Shaw
Youth, which is forgiven everything, forgives itself nothing: age, which forgives itself everything, is forgiven nothing.
George Bernard Shaw
It is nearly 50 years since I was assured by a conclave of doctors that if I did not eat meat I should die of starvation.
George Bernard Shaw
You do not settle whether an argument is justified by merely showing that it is of some use. The distinction is not between useful and useless experiments but between barbarous and civilized behaviour. Vivisection is a social evil because if it advances human knowledge, it does so at the expense of human character.
George Bernard Shaw
I'm not a teacher: only a fellow traveler of whom you asked the way. I pointed ahead - ahead of myself as well as you.
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
Revolutions have never lightened the burden of tyranny they have only shifted it to another shoulder.
George Bernard Shaw
Money is the counter that enables life to be lived socially it is life as truly as sovereigns and banknotes are money.
George Bernard Shaw
Reminiscences make one feel so deliciously aged and sad.
George Bernard Shaw
I am a Christian. That obliges me to be a Communist.
George Bernard Shaw
Property, said Proudhon, is theft. This is the only perfect truism that has been uttered on the subject.
George Bernard Shaw
What you are to do without me I cannot imagine.
George Bernard Shaw
The difference between a lady and a flower girl is not how she behaves, but how she’s treated.
George Bernard Shaw
All progress means war with society.
George Bernard Shaw
We are the masters at the moment, and not only at the moment, but for a very long time to come.
George Bernard Shaw
Life is a disease and the only difference between on man and another is the stage of the disease at which he lives.
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
The joy in life is to be used for a purpose. I want to be used up when I die.
George Bernard Shaw
Social questions are too sectional, too topical, too temporal to move a man to the mighty effort which is needed to produce greatpoetry. Prison reform may nerve Charles Reade to produce an effective and businesslike prose melodrama but it could never produce Hamlet, Faust, or Peer Gynt.
George Bernard Shaw
What we are confronted with now is a growing perception that if we desire a certain type of civilization and culture we must exterminate the sort of people who do not fit into it.
George Bernard Shaw
