More quotes by 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
We should find ourselves committed to killing a great many people whom we now leave living, and to leave living a great many people whom we at present kill. We should have to get rid of all ideas about capital punishment.
George Bernard Shaw
Nothing soothes me more after a long and maddening course of pianoforte recitals than to sit and have my teeth drilled.
George Bernard Shaw
A contract for better for worse is a contract that should not be tolerated.
George Bernard Shaw
Heartbreak is life educating us.
George Bernard Shaw
Here there is no hope, and consequently no duty, no work, nothing to be gained by praying, nothing to be lost by doing what you like. Hell, in short, is a place where you have nothing to do but amuse yourself.
George Bernard Shaw
Our ideals, like the gods of old, are constantly demanding human sacrifices.
George Bernard Shaw
Life would be tolerable but for its amusements.
George Bernard Shaw
You see things and you say, ‘Why?’ But I dream things that never were and I say, ‘Why not?
George Bernard Shaw
Unless the people can choose their leaders and rulers, and can revoke their choice at intervals long enough to test their measuresby results, the government will be a tyranny exercised in the interests of whatever classes or castes or mobs or cliques have this choice.
George Bernard Shaw
The best bought-up children are those who have seen thier parents as they are. Hypocrisy is not the first duty of a parent.
George Bernard Shaw
You have a choice of trusting the natural stability of gold, or the honesty and intelligence of members of government.
George Bernard Shaw
Vegetarians claim to be immune from most diseases but they have been known to die from time to time.
George Bernard Shaw
Orchestras only need to be sworn at, and a German is consequently at an advantage with them, as English profanity, except in America, has not gone beyond a limited technology of perdition.
George Bernard Shaw
If there was nothing wrong in the world there wouldn't be anything for us to do.
George Bernard Shaw
No question is so difficult to answer as that to which the answer is obvious.
George Bernard Shaw
Parentage is a very important profession, but no test of fitness for it is ever imposed in the interest of the children.
George Bernard Shaw
There is no satisfaction in hanging a man who does not object to it.
George Bernard Shaw
Nationalism must now be added to the refuse pile of superstitions. We are now citizens of the world, and the man who divides the race into elect Irishmen and reprobate foreign devils (especially Englishmen) had better live on the Blaskets where he can admire himself without disturbance.
George Bernard Shaw
Make me a beautiful word for doing things tomorrow for that surely is a great and blessed invention.
George Bernard Shaw
