George Bernard Shaw
I can't talk religion to a man with bodily hunger in his eyes.

Nietzche . . . he was a confirmed Life Force worshipper. It was he who raked up the Superman, who is as old as Prometheus and the 20th century will run after this newest of the old crazes when it gets tired of the world, the flesh, and your humble servant.
George Bernard Shaw
We are told that when Jehovah created the world he saw that it was good what would he say now
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
All great art and literature is propaganda.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
What God hath joined together no man shall put asunder: God will take care of that.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
Man gives every reason for his conduct save one, every excuse for his crimes save one, every plea for his safety save one and that one is his cowardice
George Bernard Shaw
The real pleasure of one's life is the devotion to a great objective of one's consideration.
George Bernard Shaw
The shot Irishmen will now take their places beside Emmet and the Manchester Martyrs in Ireland, and beside the heroes of Poland and Sérbia and Belgium in Europe and nothing in heaven or earth can prevent it.
George Bernard Shaw
Those who do not know how to live must make a merit of dying.
George Bernard Shaw
I never expect a soldier to think.
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
Do not do unto others as you expect they should do unto you. Their tastes may not be the same.
George Bernard Shaw
All evolution in thought and conduct must at first appear as heresy and misconduct.
George Bernard Shaw
