More quotes by George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
Those who can’t change their minds can’t change anything.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
If there was nothing wrong in the world there wouldn't be anything for us to do.

George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
We all go about longing for love: it is the first need of our natures, the loudest cry of our hearts.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
If associations to control burglary and murder were tolerated we should take it for granted that the members should all be burglers and murderers.
George Bernard Shaw
Money is a most important thing in the world.
George Bernard Shaw
Property, said Proudhon, is theft. This is the only perfect truism that has been uttered on the subject.
George Bernard Shaw
I learned more from the first stupid woman who fell in love with me than ever my brains taught me.
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
I choose not to make a graveyard of my body for the rotting corpses of dead animals.
George Bernard Shaw
Take the utmost care to get well born and well brought up.
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
