More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
Civilization is a disease produced by the practice of building societies with rotten material.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
Violence is the repartee of the illiterate.
George Bernard Shaw
Better keep yourself clean and bright you are the window through which you must see the world.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
It's usually pointed out that women are not fit for political power, and ought not to be trusted with a vote because they are politically ignorant, socially prejudiced, narrow-minded, and selfish. True enough, but precisely the same is true of men!
George Bernard Shaw
All government is cruel for nothing is so cruel as impunity.
George Bernard Shaw
Words are only postage stamps delivering the object for you to unwrap
George Bernard Shaw
I find it easy to forgive the man who invented a devilish instrument like dynamite, but how can one ever forgive the diabolical mind that invented the Nobel Prize in Literature?
George Bernard Shaw
I can't control what life did to me, but I can control how I react. Therein lies the difference.
George Bernard Shaw
Those who are looking for paradise on Earth should come and see Dubrovnik.
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
