More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
If you take too long in deciding what to do with your life, you'll find you've done it.
George Bernard Shaw
I often quote myself. It adds spice to my conversation.
George Bernard Shaw
The world was to Shakespeare a great stage of fools on which he was utterly bewildered. His pregnant observations of life are not coordinated into any philosophy.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
Audacious ribald: your laughter will finish in hideous boredom before morning.
George Bernard Shaw
Any sort of plain speaking is better than the nauseous sham good fellowship our democratic public men get up for shop use.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
You can easily find people who are ten times as rich at sixty as they were at twenty but not one of them will tell you that they are ten times as happy
George Bernard Shaw
I make a fortune from criticizing the policy of the government, and then hand it over to the government in taxes to keep it going.
George Bernard Shaw
Every doctor will allow a colleague to decimate a whole countryside sooner than violate the bond of professional etiquette by giving him away.
George Bernard Shaw
If there was nothing wrong in the world there wouldn't be anything for us to do.
George Bernard Shaw
Cruelty would be delicious if one could only find some sort of cruelty that didn't really hurt.
George Bernard Shaw
The conversion of a savage to Christianity is the conversion of Christianity to savagery.
George Bernard Shaw
Virtue is insufficient temptation.
George Bernard Shaw
History, sir, will tell lies as usual.
George Bernard Shaw
A pornographic novelist is one who exploits the sexual instinct as a prostitute does. A legitimate sex novel elucidates it or brings out its poetry, tragedy, or comedy.
George Bernard Shaw
