George Bernard Shaw
A thing that nobody believes cannot be proved too often.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
Popular Christianity has for its emblem a gibbet, for its chief sensation a sanginary execution after torture, for its central mystery is an insane vengeance bought off by a trumpery expiation. But there is a nobler and profounder Christianity which affirms the sacred mystery of equality and forbids the glaring futility and folly of vengeance.
George Bernard Shaw
Bourgeois morality is largely a system of making cheap virtues a cloak for expensive vices.
George Bernard Shaw
If I refuse to allow my leg to be amputated, its mortification and my death may prove that I was wrong but if I let the leg go, nobody can ever prove that it would not have mortified had I been obstinate. Operation is therefore the safe side for the surgeon as well as the lucrative side.
George Bernard Shaw
It is more dangerous to be a great prophet or poet than to promote twenty companies for swindling simple folk out of their savings.
George Bernard Shaw
Property, said Proudhon, is theft. This is the only perfect truism that has been uttered on the subject.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
Most people go to their grave with their music inside them.
George Bernard Shaw
Forgive him, for he believes that the customs of his tribe are the laws of nature!
George Bernard Shaw
No king on earth is as safe in his job as a Trade Union official. There is only one thing that can get him sacked and that is drink. Not even that, as long as he doesn't actually fall down.
George Bernard Shaw
Youth is a wonderful thing. What a crime to waste it on children.
George Bernard Shaw
This souls'prison we call England.
George Bernard Shaw
My method is to take the utmost trouble to find the right thing to say, and then to say it with the utmost levity.
George Bernard Shaw
The educated man is a greater nuisance than the uneducated one.
George Bernard Shaw
I don't want to talk grammar. I want to talk like a lady.
George Bernard Shaw
