More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
When it comes to the point, really bad men are just as rare as really good ones.
George Bernard Shaw
Self-denial is not a virtue it is only the effect of prudence on rascality.
George Bernard Shaw
Morals are a luxury of the rich.
George Bernard Shaw
Youth is just wasted on young people.
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
[Chess] is a foolish expedient for making idle people believe they are doing something very clever, when they are only wasting their time.
George Bernard Shaw
What a man believes may be ascertained, not from his creed, but from the assumptions on which he habitually acts.
George Bernard Shaw
Which painting in the National Gallery would I save if there was a fire? The one nearest the door of course.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
It is long and hard and painful to create life: it is short and easy to steal the life others have made.
George Bernard Shaw
Rebecca [West] can handle a pen as brilliantly as ever I could and much more savagely.
George Bernard Shaw
Somemenare bornkings and someare bornstatesmen. The two are seldom the same.
George Bernard Shaw
Only in the problem play is there any real drama, because drama is no mere setting up of the camera to nature: it is the presentation in parable of the conflict between Man's will and his environment: in a word, of problem.
George Bernard Shaw
If a woman rebels against high-heeled shoes, she should take care to do it in a very smart hat
George Bernard Shaw
Decency is indecency's conspiracy of silence
George Bernard Shaw
Any belief worth having must survive doubt
George Bernard Shaw
It is not that I am so clever it is that everyone else is so stupid.
George Bernard Shaw
The novelties of one generation are only the resuscitated fashions of the generation before last.
George Bernard Shaw
How can you dare teach a man to read until you've taught him everything else first?
George Bernard Shaw
