More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
Where there is no knowledge ignorance calls itself science.
George Bernard Shaw
Englishmen hate Liberty and Equality too much to understand them. But every Englishman loves a pedigree.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
I have my own soul. My own spark of divine fire.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
The most tragic thing in the world is a man of genius who is not a man of honor.
George Bernard Shaw
When you find something funny search it for hidden truth.
George Bernard Shaw
With the exception of capitalism, there is nothing so revolting as revolution.
George Bernard Shaw
If you strike a child, take care that you strike it in anger, even at the risk of maiming it for life. A blow in cold blood neither can nor should be forgiven.
George Bernard Shaw
Nowadays a parlor maid as ignorant as Queen Victoria was when she came to the throne would be classed as mentally defective.
George Bernard Shaw
Morality is not respectability.
George Bernard Shaw
