More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
I no longer desire happiness: life is nobler than that.
George Bernard Shaw
The danger of crippling thought, the danger of obstructing the formation of the public mind by specially suppressing ... representations is far greater than any real danger that there is from such representations.
George Bernard Shaw
During the last considerable epidemic at the turn of the century, I was a member of the Health Committee of London Borough Council, and I learned how the credit of vaccination is kept up statistically by diagnosing all the revaccinated cases (of smallpox) as pustular eczema, varioloid or what not---except smallpox.
George Bernard Shaw
Most people go to their grave with their music inside them.
George Bernard Shaw
Men trifle with their business and their politics but never trifle with their games. It brings truth home to them.

George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
Decency is indecency's conspiracy of silence
George Bernard Shaw
The possibilities are numerous once we decide to act and not react.
George Bernard Shaw
A married man forms married habits and becomes dependent on marriage just as a sailor becomes dependent on the sea.
George Bernard Shaw
The function of the actor is to make the audience imagine for the moment that real things are happening to real people.
George Bernard Shaw
If the English can survive their food, they can survive anything.
George Bernard Shaw
It's usually pointed out that women are not fit for political power, and ought not to be trusted with a vote because they are politically ignorant, socially prejudiced, narrow-minded, and selfish. True enough, but precisely the same is true of men!
George Bernard Shaw
To a mathematician the eleventh means only a single unit: to the bushman who cannot count further than his ten fingers it is an incalculable myriad.
George Bernard Shaw
Why not give Christianity a trial?
George Bernard Shaw
The best bought-up children are those who have seen thier parents as they are. Hypocrisy is not the first duty of a parent.
George Bernard Shaw
I have not wasted my life trifling with literary fools in taverns, as Johnson did, when he should have been shaking England with the thunder of his spirit
George Bernard Shaw
The most sublime courage I have ever witnessed has been among that class too poor to know they possessed it, and too humble for the world to discover it.
George Bernard Shaw
