What right has any human being to talk of bringing up a child? You do not bring up a tree or a plant. It brings itself up. You have to give it a fair chance by tilling the soil.

More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
This souls'prison we call England.
George Bernard Shaw
I lay my eternal curse on whomsoever shall now or at any time hereafter make schoolbooks of my works and make me hated as Shakespeare is hated. My plays were not designed as instruments of torture. All the schools that lust after them get this answer, and will never get any other.
George Bernard Shaw
Life at its noblest leaves mere happiness far behind and indeed cannot endure it. Happiness is not the object of life: life has no object: it is an end in itself and courage consists in the readiness to sacrifice happiness for an intenser quality of life.
George Bernard Shaw
The person I miss most is the one I could have been.
George Bernard Shaw
Every man deserves to be judged in the context of his times.
George Bernard Shaw
Forgive him, for he believes that the customs of his tribe are the laws of nature!
George Bernard Shaw

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
You use a glass mirror to see your face you use works of art to see your soul.
George Bernard Shaw
In gambling the many must lose in order that the few may win.
George Bernard Shaw
The devil can quote Shakespeare for his own purpose.
George Bernard Shaw
Nietzche . . . he was a confirmed Life Force worshipper. It was he who raked up the Superman, who is as old as Prometheus and the 20th century will run after this newest of the old crazes when it gets tired of the world, the flesh, and your humble servant.
George Bernard Shaw
Silence is the most perfect expression of scorn.
George Bernard Shaw
If 'Pygmalion' is not good enough for your friends with its own verbal music, their talent must be altogether extraordinary.
George Bernard Shaw
All Artists are Anarchists.
George Bernard Shaw
Financiers live in a world of illusion. They count on something which they call the capital of the country, which has no existence.
George Bernard Shaw
I dislike feeling at home when I am abroad.
George Bernard Shaw
The worst sin toward our fellow creatures is not to hate them, but to be indifferent to them: that's the essence of inhumanity.
George Bernard Shaw
