More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
Political necessities sometime turn out to be political mistakes.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
Silence is the most perfect expression of scorn.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
A dinner! How horrible! I am to be made the pretext for killing all those wretched animals and birds, and fish! Thank you for nothing. Now if it were to be a fast instead of a feast say a solemn three days' abstention from corpses in my honour, I could at least pretend to believe that it was disinterested. Blood sacrifices are not in my line
George Bernard Shaw
Am reserving two tickets for you for my premiere. Come and bring a friend - if you have one. Telegram inviting Winston Churchill to opening night of Pygmalion. Churchill wired back: Impossible to be present for the first performance. Will attend the second - if there is one.
George Bernard Shaw
Men get tired of everything, of heaven no less than of hell and that all history is nothing but a record of the oscillations of the world between these two extremes. An epoch is but a swing of the pendulum and each generation thinks the world is progressing because it is always moving.
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.
