More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
Though the Life Force supplies us with its own purpose, it has no other brains to work with than those it has painfully and imperfectly evolved in our heads.
George Bernard Shaw
In a hospital they throw you out into the street before you are half cured, but in a nursing home they don't let you out till you are dead.
George Bernard Shaw
Never fret for an only son, the idea of failure will never occur to him.
George Bernard Shaw
Love is a gross exaggeration of the difference between one person and everybody else.
George Bernard Shaw
You're only a beginner and what you think is love, and interest, and all that, is not real love at all: three quarters of it is only unsatisfied curiosity.
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
Never repeat old grievances.
George Bernard Shaw
Any sort of plain speaking is better than the nauseous sham good fellowship our democratic public men get up for shop use.
George Bernard Shaw
Vivisection is a social evil because if it advances human knowledge, it does so at the expense of human character.
George Bernard Shaw
It is not true that men can be divided into absolutely honest persons and absolutely dishonest ones. Our honesty varies with the strain put on it.
George Bernard Shaw
He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches.
George Bernard Shaw
When commenting on the turmoil and disorder of the world, If the other planets are inhabited, they must be using this earth as their insane asylum.
George Bernard Shaw
This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one.
George Bernard Shaw
Those who do not know how to live must make a merit of dying.
George Bernard Shaw
The medical profession (is) a conspiracy to hide its own shortcomings. No doubt the same may be said of all professions. They are all conspiracies against the laity... (U)ntil there is a practicable alternative to blind trust in the doctor, the truth about the doctor is so terrible that we dare not face it.
George Bernard Shaw
This is the true joy of life-the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one, the being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown to the scrap-heap the being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish clod of ailments and grievances.
George Bernard Shaw
As 99 per cent of English authors and 100 per cent of American ones [authors] are just such imbeciles, managers and publishers make a practice of asking for every right the author possesses.
George Bernard Shaw
Which painting in the National Gallery would I save if there was a fire? The one nearest the door of course.
George Bernard Shaw
In literature the ambition of the novice is to acquire the literary language the struggle of the adept is to get rid of it.
George Bernard Shaw
The early Christian rules of life were not made to last, because the early Christians did not believe that the world itself was going to last.
George Bernard Shaw
