More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
Keep away from books and from men who get their ideas from books, and your own books will always be fresh.
George Bernard Shaw
Make me a beautiful word for doing things tomorrow for that surely is a great and blessed invention.
George Bernard Shaw
If all the economists were laid end to end, they'd never reach a conclusion.
George Bernard Shaw
In your Salvation shelter I saw poverty, misery, cold and hunger. You gave them bread and treacle and dreams of heaven. I give from thirty shillings a week to twelve thousand a year. They find their own dreams but I look after the drainage.
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
To be in hell is to drift to be in heaven is to steer.
George Bernard Shaw
All progress depends upon the unreasonable person.
George Bernard Shaw
Don't order any black things. Rejoice in his memory and be radiant: leave grief to the children. Wear violet and purple. Be patient with the poor people who will snivel: they don't know and they think they will live for ever, which makes death a division instead of a bond.
George Bernard Shaw
Spend all you have before you die, and do not outlive yourself.
George Bernard Shaw
Gambling promises the poor what property performs for the rich-something for nothing.
George Bernard Shaw
I choose not to make a graveyard of my body for the rotting corpses of dead animals.
George Bernard Shaw
All classes in proportion to their lack of travel and familiarity with foreign literature are bellicose, prejudiced against foreigners, fond of fighting as a cruel sport - in short, dog-like in their notions of foreign policy.
George Bernard Shaw
I prefer the man who calls his nonsense a mystery to him who who pretends it is a weighed, measured, analyzed fact.
George Bernard Shaw
Audacious ribald: your laughter will finish in hideous boredom before morning.
George Bernard Shaw
A nap, my friend, is a brief period of sleep which overtakes superannuated persons when they endeavor to entertain unwelcome visitors or to listen to scientific lectures.
George Bernard Shaw
What is both surprising and delightful is that the spectators are allowed, and even expected, to join in the vocal part of the game...There is no reason why the field should not try to put the batsman off his stroke at the critical moment by neatly timed disparagements of his wife's fidelity and his mother's respectability.
George Bernard Shaw
It was from Handel that I learned that style consists in force of assertion.
George Bernard Shaw
If history repeats itself, and the unexpected always happens, how incapable must Man be of learning from experience.
George Bernard Shaw
The best reformers the world has ever seen are those who commence on themselves.
George Bernard Shaw
I really don't think I could consent to go to Heaven if I thought there were no animals there.
George Bernard Shaw
