More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
The road to ignorance is paved with good editors.
George Bernard Shaw
An Englishman thinks he is moral when he is only uncomfortable.
George Bernard Shaw
The golden rule is that there are no golden rules.
George Bernard Shaw
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world the unreasonable one persists to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.
George Bernard Shaw
Some people look at the world and say 'why?' Some people look at the world and say 'why not?'
George Bernard Shaw
A lifetime of happiness! No man alive could bear it: it would be hell on earth.
George Bernard Shaw
Both optimists and pessimists contribute to society. The optimist invents the aeroplane, the pessimist the parachute.
George Bernard Shaw
As well consult a butcher on the value of vegetarianism as a doctor on the worth of vaccination.
George Bernard Shaw
I'm sick of all the reasonable people: they see all the reasons for doing nothing
George Bernard Shaw
Nothing is more dreadful than a husband who keeps telling you everything he thinks, and always wants to know what you think.
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
As to spelling the very frequent word though with six letters instead of two, it is impossible to discuss it, as it is outside the range of common sanity. In comparison such a monstrosity as phlegm for flem is merely disgusting.
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
Do not try to live forever. You will not succeed.
George Bernard Shaw
If Despotism failed only for want of a capable benevolent despot, what chance has Democracy, which requires a whole population of capable voters.
George Bernard Shaw
Islam is the best religion and Muslims are the worst followers
George Bernard Shaw
Geniuses are horrid, intolerant, easily offended, sleeplessly self-conscious men, who expect their wives to be angels with no further business in life than to pet and worship their husbands. Even at the best they are not comfortable men to live with and a perfect husband is one who is perfectly comfortable to live with.
George Bernard Shaw
Youth is just wasted on young people.
George Bernard Shaw
Without danger I cannot be great. That is how I pay for Abel's blood. Danger and fear follow my steps everywhere. Without them courage would have no sense. And it is courage, courage, courage that raises the blood of life to crimson splendor.
George Bernard Shaw
Set me anything to do as a task, and it is inconceivable the desire I have to do something else.
George Bernard Shaw
