George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
To the person with a toothache, even if the world is tottering, there is nothing more important than a visit to a dentist.
George Bernard Shaw
Those who can’t change their minds can’t change anything.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
Everybody who does not live in a prostitute's bed and on a diet of cocaine snow is called an ascetic nowadays.
George Bernard Shaw
Money is indeed the most important thing in the world and all sound and successful personal and national morality should have this fact for its basis.
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

George Bernard Shaw
Until the men of action clear out the talkers we who have social consciences are at the mercy of those who have none.
George Bernard Shaw
The seven deadly sins... food, clothing, firing, rent, taxes, respectability and children. Nothing can lift those seven millstones from Man's neck but money and the spirit cannot soar until the millstones are lifted.
George Bernard Shaw
Newspaper : A device unable to distinguish between a bicycle accident and the collapse of civilisation.
George Bernard Shaw
I do not want actors and actresses to understand my plays. That is not necessary. If they will only pronounce the correct sounds I can guarantee the results.
George Bernard Shaw
Where equality is undisputed, so also is subordination.
George Bernard Shaw
English is the easiest language to speak badly.
George Bernard Shaw
I don't like the idea of killing my fellow creatures in order to eat their dead bodies.
George Bernard Shaw
We should find ourselves committed to killing a great many people whom we now leave living, and to leave living a great many people whom we at present kill. We should have to get rid of all ideas about capital punishment.
George Bernard Shaw
The only secrets are the secrets that keep themselves.
George Bernard Shaw
When we know what God is, we shall be gods ourselves.
George Bernard Shaw
We are made wise not by the recollection of our past, but by the responsibility for our future.
George Bernard Shaw
