More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
When people shake their heads because we are living in a restless age, ask them how they would like to life in a stationary one, and do without change
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
We educate one another and we cannot do this if half of us consider the other half not good enough to talk to.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
Unless the people can choose their leaders and rulers, and can revoke their choice at intervals long enough to test their measuresby results, the government will be a tyranny exercised in the interests of whatever classes or castes or mobs or cliques have this choice.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
You have nothing to do but mention the quantum theory, and people will take your voice for the voice of science, and belive anything.

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

George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
Give a man health and a course to steer, and he'll never stop to trouble about whether he's happy or not.
George Bernard Shaw
The whole strength of England lies in the fact that the enormous majority of the English people are snobs.
George Bernard Shaw
For four wicked centuries the world has dreamed this foolish dream of efficiency and the end is not yet. But the end will come.
George Bernard Shaw
The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want and if they can't find them, make them.
George Bernard Shaw
A married man is a man with a past, while a bachelor is a man with a future.
George Bernard Shaw
The real moment of success is not the moment apparent to the crowd.
George Bernard Shaw
As well consult a butcher on the value of vegetarianism as a doctor on the worth of vaccination.
George Bernard Shaw
Political necessities sometime turn out to be political mistakes.
George Bernard Shaw
The most intolerable pain is produced by prolonging the keenest pleasure.
George Bernard Shaw
An idea that no one believes can not be proved too often.
George Bernard Shaw
