More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
An author who gives a manager or publisher any rights in his work except those immediately and specifically required for its publication or performance is for business purposes an imbecile.
George Bernard Shaw
Great art is never produced for its own sake. It is too difficult to be worth the effort.
George Bernard Shaw
A man never tells you anything until you contradict him.
George Bernard Shaw
Do not try to live forever. You will not succeed.
George Bernard Shaw
It is easy - terribly easy - to shake a man's faith in himself. To take advantage of that to break a man's spirit is devil's work.
George Bernard Shaw
Assassination is the extreme form of censorship and it seems hard to justify an incitement to it on anti-censorial principles.
George Bernard Shaw
After all, the wrong road always leads somewhere.
George Bernard Shaw
It is said that every people has the Government it deserves. It is more to the point that every Government has the electorate it deserves for the orator of the front bench can edify or debauch an ignorant electorate at will.
George Bernard Shaw
Power is the faculty or capacity to act, the strength and potency to accomplish something.
George Bernard Shaw
For four wicked centuries the world has dreamed this foolish dream of efficiency and the end is not yet. But the end will come.
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 have been summits of civilization at which heretics like Socrates , who was killed because he was wiser than his neighbors, have not been tortured, but ordered to kill themselves in the most painless manner known to their judges. But from that summit there was a speedy relapse into our present savagery.
George Bernard Shaw
I have studied him - the wonderful man - and in my opinion far from being an anti-Christ he must be called the saviour of humanity.
George Bernard Shaw
Must then a Christ perish in torment in every age to save those that have no imagination.
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
Do not mistake your objection to defeat for an objection to fighting, your objection to being a slave for an objection to slavery, your objection to not being as rich as your neighbor for an objection to poverty. The cowardly, the insubordinate, and the envious share your objections.
George Bernard Shaw
Not everybody is strong enough to endure life without an anesthetic. Drink probably averts more gross crime than it causes.
George Bernard Shaw
An election is a moral horror, as bad as a battle except for the blood a mud bath for every soul concerned in it.
George Bernard Shaw
Until the men of action clear out the talkers we who have social consciences are at the mercy of those who have none.
George Bernard Shaw
The roulette table pays nobody except him that keeps it. Nevertheless a passion for gaming is common, though a passion for keeping roulette tables is unknown.
George Bernard Shaw
