More quotes by George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
Nothing remains beautiful and interesting except thought, because the thought is the life.
George Bernard Shaw
In your dread of dictators you established a state of society in which every ward boss is a dictator, every private employer a dictator, every financier a dictator, all with the livelihood of the workers at his mercy, and no public responsibility.
George Bernard Shaw
Every person who has mastered a profession is a skeptic concerning it.
George Bernard Shaw
Vegetarians claim to be immune from most diseases but they have been known to die from time to time.
George Bernard Shaw
Social questions are too sectional, too topical, too temporal to move a man to the mighty effort which is needed to produce greatpoetry. Prison reform may nerve Charles Reade to produce an effective and businesslike prose melodrama but it could never produce Hamlet, Faust, or Peer Gynt.
George Bernard Shaw
The goal of an artist is to create the definitive work that cannot be surpassed.
George Bernard Shaw
A man's interest in the world is only an overflow from his interest in himself.
George Bernard Shaw
Martyrdom is the only path to immortality that requires no talent whatsoever.
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
Spend all you have before you die, and do not outlive yourself.
George Bernard Shaw
A drama critic is a man who leaves no turn unstoned.
George Bernard Shaw
Every profession is a conspiracy against the laity.
George Bernard Shaw
A man never tells you anything until you contradict him.
George Bernard Shaw
The conversion of Paul was no conversion at all it was Paul who converted the religion that has raised one man above sin and death.
George Bernard Shaw
I never thought much of the courage of a lion tamer. Inside the cage he is at least safe from people.
George Bernard Shaw
In a hospital they throw you out into the street before you are half cured, but in a nursing home they don't let you out till you are dead.
George Bernard Shaw
It is ridiculous to say that art has nothing to do with morality. What is true is that the artist's business is not that of the policeman.
George Bernard Shaw
No man who is occupied in doing a very difficult thing, and doing it very well, ever loses his self-respect.
George Bernard Shaw
I was convinced that Ceylon is the cradle of the human race because everybody there looks an original. All other nations are obviously mass produced.
George Bernard Shaw
