It's a dangerous thing to be married right up to the hilt, like my daughter's husband. The man is at home all day, like a damned soul in hell.

More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
An asylum for the sane would be empty in America.
George Bernard Shaw
Of the two lots, the woman's lot of perpetual motherhood, and the man's of perpetual babyhood, I prefer the man's.
George Bernard Shaw
When men die of disease they are said to die from natural causes. When they recover (and mostly they do) the doctor gets the credit of curing them.
George Bernard Shaw
Here there is no hope, and consequently no duty, no work, nothing to be gained by praying, nothing to be lost by doing what you like. Hell, in short, is a place where you have nothing to do but amuse yourself.
George Bernard Shaw
Those who admire modern civilization usually identify it with the steam engine and the electric telegraph.
George Bernard Shaw
There is only one religion, though there are a hundred versions of it.
George Bernard Shaw
We must not stay as we are, doing always what was done last time or we shall stick in the mud.
George Bernard Shaw
Don't order any black things. Rejoice in his memory and be radiant: leave grief to the children. Wear violet and purple. Be patient with the poor people who will snivel: they don't know and they think they will live for ever, which makes death a division instead of a bond.
George Bernard Shaw
Bourgeois morality is largely a system of making cheap virtues a cloak for expensive vices.
George Bernard Shaw
A miracle is an event which creates faith. That is the purpose and nature of miracles. Frauds deceive. An event which creates faith does not deceive: therefore it is not a fraud, but a miracle.
George Bernard Shaw
If women were as fastidious as men, morally or physically, there would be an end of the race.
George Bernard Shaw
In a stupid nation the man of genius becomes a god : everybody worships him and nobody does his will.
George Bernard Shaw
Better never than late.
George Bernard Shaw
Social questions are too sectional, too topical, too temporal to move a man to the mighty effort which is needed to produce greatpoetry. Prison reform may nerve Charles Reade to produce an effective and businesslike prose melodrama but it could never produce Hamlet, Faust, or Peer Gynt.
George Bernard Shaw
It is dangerous to be sincere unless you are also stupid.
George Bernard Shaw
Youth is a wonderful thing. What a crime to waste it on children.
George Bernard Shaw
The most anxious man in a prison is the governor.
George Bernard Shaw
The pianoforte is the most important of all musical instruments its invention was to music what the invention of printing was to poetry.
George Bernard Shaw
Money is the counter that enables life to be lived socially it is life as truly as sovereigns and banknotes are money.
George Bernard Shaw
I fought linotype and montype for some time because it would not justify as well as handset could be made to do but at last, as always happens, the machine outdid the hand, and got all the best types on it.
George Bernard Shaw
