More quotes by George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
If you don't begin to be a revolutionist at the age of twenty, then at fifty you will be a most impossible old fossil. If you area red revolutionary at the age of twenty, you have some chance of being up-to-date when you are forty!
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
A man who has no office to go, to I don't care who he is, is a trial of which you can have no conception.
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.

General consultant to mankind.
George Bernard Shaw
They tell me that So-and-So, who does not write prefaces, is no charlatan. Well, I am. I first caught the ear of the British public on a cart in Hyde Park, to the blaring of brass bands,and this . . . because . . . I am a natural-born mountebank.
George Bernard Shaw
Your father is a fool skin deep but you are a fool to your very marrow.
George Bernard Shaw
Fine art is the only teacher except torture.
George Bernard Shaw
From a very early age, I've had to interrupt my education to go to school.
