More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
Orchestras only need to be sworn at, and a German is consequently at an advantage with them, as English profanity, except in America, has not gone beyond a limited technology of perdition.
George Bernard Shaw
Let no one suppose that the words doctor and patient can disguise from the parties the fact that they are employer and employee.
George Bernard Shaw
Perhaps the greatest social service that can be rendered by anybody to the country and to mankind is to bring up a family.

George Bernard Shaw
Consistency is the enemy of enterprise, just as symmetry is the enemy of art.
George Bernard Shaw
If a man is indolent, let him be poor. If he is drunken, let him be poor.... Also--somewhat inconsistently--blessed are the poor!
George Bernard Shaw
Words are only postage stamps delivering the object for you to unwrap

George Bernard Shaw
The truth sticks in our throats with all the sauces it is served with: it will never go down until we take it without any sauce at all.
George Bernard Shaw
I am afraid we must make the world honest before we can honestly say to our children that honesty is the best policy.
George Bernard Shaw
I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake.
George Bernard Shaw
I believe in the discipline of silence, and could talk for hours about it.
George Bernard Shaw
Your father is a fool skin deep but you are a fool to your very marrow.
George Bernard Shaw
Happiness and Beauty are by-products.
George Bernard Shaw
Time enough to think of the future when you haven't any future to think of.
George Bernard Shaw
The conversion of Paul was no conversion at all it was Paul who converted the religion that has raised one man above sin and death.
George Bernard Shaw
