More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
In a battle all you need to make you fight is a little hot blood and the knowledge that it's more dangerous to lose than to win.
George Bernard Shaw
The trouble with the media is that it seems unable to distinguish between the end of the world and a bicycle accident.
George Bernard Shaw
Such poverty as we have today in all our great cities degrades the poor, and infects with its degradation the whole neighborhood in which they live. And whatever can degrade a neighborhood can degrade a country and a continent and finally the whole civilized world, which is only a large neighborhood.
George Bernard Shaw
Music is the brandy of the damned.
George Bernard Shaw
Life would be tolerable but for its amusements.
George Bernard Shaw
As long as I have a want, I have a reason for living. Satisfaction is death.
George Bernard Shaw
The conversion of Paul was no conversion at all it was Paul who converted the religion that has raised one man above sin and death.
George Bernard Shaw
The only sensible person is my tailor. He measures me anew each time he sees me.
George Bernard Shaw
We throw the whole drudgery of creation on one sex, and then imply that no female of any delicacy would initiate any effort in that direction.
George Bernard Shaw
The notion that the colonel need be a better man than the private is as confused as the notion that the keystone need be stronger than the coping stone.
George Bernard Shaw
There is nothing in religion but fiction.
George Bernard Shaw
I make a fortune from criticizing the policy of the government, and then hand it over to the government in taxes to keep it going.
George Bernard Shaw
It exasperated her to think that the dungeon in which she had languished for so many unhappy years had been unlocked all the time, and that the impulses she had so carefully struggled with and stifled for the sake of keeping well with society, were precisely those by which alone she could have come into any sort of sincere human contact.
George Bernard Shaw
Now that we have learned to fly the air like birds, swim under water like fish, we lack one thing - to learn to live on earth as human beings.
George Bernard Shaw
Brigham Young lived to become immortal in history as an American Moses by leading his people through the wilderness into an unpromised land.
George Bernard Shaw
Where there is no religion, hypocrisy becomes good taste.
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
Nothing is ever accomplished by a reasonable man.
George Bernard Shaw
A critic recently described me, with deadly acuteness, as having 'a kindly dislike of my fellow-creatures.' Perhaps dread would have been nearer the mark than dislike for man is the only animal of which I am thoroughly and cravenly afraid.
George Bernard Shaw
Disobedience, the rarest and most courageous of the virtues, is seldom distinguished from neglect, the laziest and commonest of the vices.
George Bernard Shaw
