More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
It's just as unpleasant to get more than you bargain for as to get less.
George Bernard Shaw
In your dread of dictators you established a state of society in which every ward boss is a dictator, every private employer a dictator, every financier a dictator, all with the livelihood of the workers at his mercy, and no public responsibility.
George Bernard Shaw
Women have been a ghastly nuisance in my life.
George Bernard Shaw
I myself have been particularly careful never to say a civil word to the United States. I have scoffed at their inhabitants as a nation of villagers. I have defined the 100 % American as 99 % an idiot. And they adore me.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
It is not pleasure that makes life worth living. It is life that makes pleasure worth having.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
Christmas is forced upon a reluctant and disgusted nation by the shopkeepers and the press on its own merits it would wither and shrivel in the fiery breath of universal hatred.
George Bernard Shaw
It's a dangerous thing to be married right up to the hilt, like my daughter's husband. The man is at home all day, like a damned soul in hell.
George Bernard Shaw
Fine art is the only teacher except torture.
George Bernard Shaw
You will think less of the art, when you know the artist
George Bernard Shaw
A mind of the caliber of mine cannot derive its nutrient from cows.
George Bernard Shaw
We should have had socialism already, but for the socialists, am quite willing to drop the name if dropping it will help me to get the thing.
George Bernard Shaw
When men die of disease they are said to die from natural causes. When they recover (and mostly they do) the doctor gets the credit of curing them.
George Bernard Shaw
A moderately honest man with a moderately faithful wife, moderate drinkers both, in a moderately healthy house: that is the true middle class unit.
George Bernard Shaw
A learned man is an idler who kills time by study.
George Bernard Shaw
Disobedience, the rarest and most courageous of the virtues, is seldom distinguished from neglect, the laziest and commonest of the vices.
George Bernard Shaw
If all the Churches of Europe closed their doors until the drums ceased rolling they would act as a most powerful reminder that though the glory of war is a famous and ancient glory, it is not the final glory of God.
George Bernard Shaw
Money is a most important thing in the world.
George Bernard Shaw
