More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
For nearly twenty years I have been a published author... But I have never yet seen a book of mine offered for sale in a shop window.
George Bernard Shaw
I dread success. To have succeeded is to have finished one's business on earth, like the male spider who is killed by the female the moment he has succeeded in his courtship. I like the state of continual becoming, with a goal in front and not behind.
George Bernard Shaw
Better keep yourself clean and bright you are the window through which you must see the world.
George Bernard Shaw
It is said that every people has the Government it deserves. It is more to the point that every Government has the electorate it deserves for the orator of the front bench can edify or debauch an ignorant electorate at will.
George Bernard Shaw
Any belief worth having must survive doubt
George Bernard Shaw
Go on writing plays, my boy, One of these days one of these London producers will go into his office and say to his secretary, Is there a play from Shaw this morning? and when she says, No, he will say, Well, then we'll have to start on the rubbish. And that's your chance, my boy.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
It's just as unpleasant to get more than you bargain for as to get less.
George Bernard Shaw
The world is populated in the main by people who should not exist
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
You see things and you say, ‘Why?’ But I dream things that never were and I say, ‘Why not?
George Bernard Shaw
A man never tells you anything until you contradict him.
George Bernard Shaw
Assassination is the extreme form of censorship.
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
I like a bit of mongrel myself, whether it's a man or a dog.
George Bernard Shaw
He who bears the brand of Cain shall rule the earth.
George Bernard Shaw
There is only one belief that can rob death of its sting and the grave of its victory. For without that you cannot be born again.
George Bernard Shaw
To be in hell is to drift to be in heaven is to steer.
George Bernard Shaw
When I was young, I observed that nine out of ten things I did were failures. So I did ten times more work.
George Bernard Shaw
