More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
The plain working truth is that it is not only good for people to be shocked occasionally, but absolutely necessary to the progress of society that they should be shocked pretty often.
George Bernard Shaw
Men trifle with their business and their politics but never trifle with their games. It brings truth home to them. They cannot pretend they have won when they have lost nor that they had a magnificent drive when they foozled it. The Englishman is at his best on the links and at his worst in the Cabinet.
George Bernard Shaw
German and Spanish are accessible to foreigners: English is not accessible even to Englishmen.
George Bernard Shaw
An idea that no one believes can not be proved too often.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
I'm only a beer teetotaller, not a champagne teetotaller.
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

George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
I'm an atheist and I thank God for it.
George Bernard Shaw
If you do not write for publication, there is little point in writing at all.
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
The real Brahms is nothing more than a sentimental voluptuary
George Bernard Shaw
Everything happens to everybody sooner or later if there is time enough.
George Bernard Shaw
It was from Handel that I learned that style consists in force of assertion.
George Bernard Shaw
I'm sick of all the reasonable people: they see all the reasons for doing nothing
George Bernard Shaw
Hate is the revenge of a coward intimidated.
George Bernard Shaw
