Always strive to find out what to do by thinking, without asking anybody. If you continually do this, you will soon act like a grown-up woman. For want of doing this, a very great number of grown-up people act like children.

More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
I have my own soul. My own spark of divine fire.
George Bernard Shaw
The nation's morals are like its teeth: the more decayed they are the more it hurts to touch them.
George Bernard Shaw
I object to publishers: the one service they have done me is to teach me to do without them. They combine commercial rascality with artistic touchiness and pettishness, without being either good business men or fine judges of literature.
George Bernard Shaw
Everyone can see that the people who hunt are the right people and the people who don't are the wrong ones.
George Bernard Shaw
Political necessities sometime turn out to be political mistakes.
George Bernard Shaw
Man is unique in that he has plans, purpose and goals which require the need for criteria of choice. The need for ethical value is within man whose future may largely be determined by the choice he make
George Bernard Shaw
Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all others because you were born in it.
George Bernard Shaw
Men have to do some awfully mean things to keep up their respectability.
George Bernard Shaw
From a very early age, I've had to interrupt my education to go to school.
George Bernard Shaw
Happy is the man who can make a living by his hobby
George Bernard Shaw
The British soldier can stand up to anything except the British War Office.
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
Morality is not respectability.
George Bernard Shaw
Every fool believes what his teachers tell him, and calls his credulity science or morality as confidently as his father called it divine revelation.
George Bernard Shaw
It is a curious sensation: the sort of pain that goes mercifully beyond our powers of feeling. When your heart is broken, your boats are burned: nothing matters any more. It is the end of happiness and the beginning of peace.
George Bernard Shaw
We know now that the soul is the body, and the body the soul. They tell us they are different because they want to persuade us that we can keep our souls if we let them make slaves of our bodies.
George Bernard Shaw
We know there is intention and purpose in the universe, because there is intention and purpose in us.
George Bernard Shaw
Take the utmost care to get well born and well brought up.
George Bernard Shaw
The domestic career is no more natural to all women than the military career is natural to all men.
George Bernard Shaw
I sing, not arms and the hero, but the philosophic man: he who seeks in contemplation to discover the inner will of the world, ininvention to discover the means of fulfilling that will, and in action to do that will by the so-discovered means.
George Bernard Shaw
