More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
It's so hard to know what to do when one wishes earnestly to do right.
George Bernard Shaw
I make a fortune from criticizing the policy of the government, and then hand it over to the government in taxes to keep it going.
George Bernard Shaw
We must not stay as we are, doing always what was done last time or we shall stick in the mud.
George Bernard Shaw
If you injure your neighbour, better not do it by halves.
George Bernard Shaw
Get out of my way for I won't stop for you.
George Bernard Shaw
At present there is not a single credible established religion in the world.
George Bernard Shaw
Gambling promises the poor what property performs for the rich-something for nothing.
George Bernard Shaw
I've posed nude for a photographer in the manner of Rodin's Thinker, but I merely looked constipated.
George Bernard Shaw
A modern gentleman [rich person] is necessarily the enemy of his country. Even in war he does not fight to defend it, but to prevent his power of preying on it from passing to a foreigner.
George Bernard Shaw
If you don't begin to be a revolutionist at the age of twenty, then at fifty you will be a most impossible old fossil. If you area red revolutionary at the age of twenty, you have some chance of being up-to-date when you are forty!
George Bernard Shaw
People have pointed out evidences of personal feeling in my notices as if they were accusing me of a misdemeanor, not knowing that criticism written without personal feeling is not worth reading. It is the capacity for making good or bad art a personal matter that makes a man a critic.
George Bernard Shaw
Laws, religions, creeds, and systems of ethics, instead of making society better than its best unit, make it worse than its average unit, because they are never up to date.
George Bernard Shaw
The quality of a play is the quality of its ideas.
George Bernard Shaw
Happiness and beauty are by-products. Folly is the direct pursuit of happiness and beauty.
George Bernard Shaw
New opinions often appear first as jokes and fancies, then as blasphemies and treason, then as questions open to discussion, and finally as established truths.
George Bernard Shaw
Power does not corrupt men fools, however, if they get into a position of power, corrupt power.
George Bernard Shaw
The heretic is always better dead. And mortal eyes cannot distinguish the saint from the heretic.
George Bernard Shaw
I tell you that as long as I can conceive something better than myself I cannot be easy unless I am striving to bring it into existence or clearing the way for it.
George Bernard Shaw
It is difficult, if not impossible, for most people to think otherwise than in the fashion of their own period.
George Bernard Shaw
Women have been a ghastly nuisance in my life.
George Bernard Shaw
