More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
Morality is not respectability.
George Bernard Shaw
Man can climb to the highest summits, but he cannot dwell there long.
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
If you do things merely because you think some other fool expects you to do them, and he expects you to do them because he thinks you expect him to expect you to do them, it will end in everybody doing what nobody wants to do, which is in my opinion a silly state of things.
George Bernard Shaw
The medical profession (is) a conspiracy to hide its own shortcomings. No doubt the same may be said of all professions. They are all conspiracies against the laity... (U)ntil there is a practicable alternative to blind trust in the doctor, the truth about the doctor is so terrible that we dare not face it.
George Bernard Shaw
Oh, well, if you want original conversations, you'd better go and talk to yourself.
George Bernard Shaw
Those who can’t change their minds can’t change anything.
George Bernard Shaw
Popular Christianity has for its emblem a gibbet, for its chief sensation a sanginary execution after torture, for its central mystery is an insane vengeance bought off by a trumpery expiation. But there is a nobler and profounder Christianity which affirms the sacred mystery of equality and forbids the glaring futility and folly of vengeance.
George Bernard Shaw
Clever and attractive women do not want to vote they are willing to let men govern as long as they govern men.
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
Nowadays a parlor maid as ignorant as Queen Victoria was when she came to the throne would be classed as mentally defective.
George Bernard Shaw
Nothing makes a man so selfish as work.
George Bernard Shaw
He never does a proper thing without giving an improper reason for it.
George Bernard Shaw
What Englishman will give his mind to politics as long as he can afford to keep a motor car?
George Bernard Shaw
Hypocrisy ... is only bad when it is improperly used.
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
A critic is one who leaves no turn unstoned.
George Bernard Shaw
If you injure your neighbour, better not do it by halves.
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
People get nothing out of books but what they bring to them.
George Bernard Shaw
