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

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
Hate is the revenge of a coward intimidated.
George Bernard Shaw
Of the three official objects of our prison system: vengeance, deterrence, and reformation of the criminal, only one is achieved and that is the one which is nakedly abominable.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
The love of economy is the root of all virtue.
George Bernard Shaw
All roads end at the grave, which is the gate to nothingness.
George Bernard Shaw
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.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
