More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
The salvation of the world depends on the men who will not take evil good-humouredly, and whose laughter destroys the fool instead of encouraging him.
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
Better see rightly on a pound a week than squint on a million.
George Bernard Shaw
Decency is indecency's conspiracy of silence
George Bernard Shaw
An interesting play cannot in the nature of things mean anything but a play in which problems of conduct and character of personalimportance to the audience are raised and suggestively discussed.
George Bernard Shaw
It is the mark of a truly intelligent person to be moved by statistics.
George Bernard Shaw
Better keep yourself clean and bright you are the window through which you must see the world.
George Bernard Shaw
You cannot have power for good without having power for evil too. Even mother's milk nourishes murderers as well as heroes.
George Bernard Shaw
No man fully capable of his own language ever masters another.
George Bernard Shaw
A part of eugenic politics would finally land us in an extensive use of the lethal chamber. A great many people would have to be put out of existence simply because it wastes other people's time to look after them.
George Bernard Shaw
Some persons, by hating vice too much, come to love men too little. Hatred is self-punishment. Hatred is the cowards revenge for being intimidated.
George Bernard Shaw
All great truths begin as blasphemies.
George Bernard Shaw
Where there is no religion, hypocrisy becomes good taste.
George Bernard Shaw
To a professional critic (I have been one myself) theatre-going is the curse of Adam. The play is the evil he is paid to endure in the sweat of his brow and the sooner it is over, the better.
George Bernard Shaw
The unconscious self is the real genius. Your breathing goes wrong the moment your conscious self meddles with it.
George Bernard Shaw
It is a monstrous thing to force a child to learn Latin or Greek or mathematics on the ground that they are an indispensable gymnastic for the mental powers. It would be monstrous even if it were true.
George Bernard Shaw
The practical question, then, is what to do with the children. Tolerate them at home we will not. Let them run loose in the streets we dare not until our streets become safe places for children, which, to our utter shame, they are not at present, though they can hardly be worse than some homes and some schools.
George Bernard Shaw
The politician who once had to learn to flatter Kings has now to learn how to fascinate, amuse, coax, humbug, frighten, or otherwise strike the fancy of the electorate.
George Bernard Shaw
You propound a complicated arithmetical problem: say cubing a number containing four digits. Give me a slate and half an hour's time, and I can produce a wrong answer.
George Bernard Shaw
We educate one another and we cannot do this if half of us consider the other half not good enough to talk to.
George Bernard Shaw
