More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
A nap, my friend, is a brief period of sleep which overtakes superannuated persons when they endeavor to entertain unwelcome visitors or to listen to scientific lectures.
George Bernard Shaw
Hegel was right when he said that we learn from history that men never learn anything from history.
George Bernard Shaw
Liquor is the chloroform which enables the poor man to endure the painful operation of living.
George Bernard Shaw
If you can’t appreciate what you’ve got, you’d better get what you can appreciate.
George Bernard Shaw
No man who is occupied in doing a very difficult thing, and doing it very well, ever loses his self-respect.
George Bernard Shaw
I hope you have lost your good looks, for while they last any fool can adore you, and the adoration of fools is bad for the soul. No, give me a ruined complexion and a lost figure and sixteen chins on a farmyard of Crow's feet and an obvious wig. Then you shall see me coming out strong.
George Bernard Shaw
If you cannot attain knowledge without torturing a dog, you must do without knowledge.
George Bernard Shaw
Keep away from books and from men who get their ideas from books, and your own books will always be fresh.
George Bernard Shaw
If I refuse to allow my leg to be amputated, its mortification and my death may prove that I was wrong but if I let the leg go, nobody can ever prove that it would not have mortified had I been obstinate. Operation is therefore the safe side for the surgeon as well as the lucrative side.
George Bernard Shaw
Civilized society is one huge bourgeoisie: no nobleman dares now shock his greengrocer.
George Bernard Shaw
The real moment of success is not the moment apparent to the crowd.
George Bernard Shaw
I can't control what life did to me, but I can control how I react. Therein lies the difference.
George Bernard Shaw
The moment we face it frankly we are driven to the conclusion that the community has a right to put a price on the right to live in it
George Bernard Shaw
I often quote myself. It adds spice to my conversation.
George Bernard Shaw
Being a mother means that your heart is no longer yours it wanders wherever your children do
George Bernard Shaw
Brigham Young lived to become immortal in history as an American Moses by leading his people through the wilderness into an unpromised land.
George Bernard Shaw
What a man believes may be ascertained, not from his creed, but from the assumptions on which he habitually acts.
George Bernard Shaw
Our lives are shaped not as much by our experiences as by our expectations.
George Bernard Shaw
The only sensible person is my tailor. He measures me anew each time he sees me.
George Bernard Shaw
When a bishop at the first shot abandons the worship of Christ and rallies his flock round the altar of Mars, he may be acting patriotically... but that does not justify him in pretending...that Christ is, in effect, Mars.
George Bernard Shaw
