George Bernard Shaw
Morality consists of suspecting other people of not being legally married.
George Bernard Shaw
What you are to do without me I cannot imagine.
George Bernard Shaw
The truth is, hardly any of us have ethical energy enough for more than one really inflexible point of honor.
George Bernard Shaw
There is no accomplishment so easy to acquire as politeness and none more profitable.
George Bernard Shaw
At present there is not a single credible established religion in the world.
George Bernard Shaw
We don't stop playing because we grow old we grow old because we stop playing.
George Bernard Shaw
When a prisoner sees the door of his dungeon open, he dashes for it without stopping to think where he shall get his dinner outside.
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.
