More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
With the exception of capitalism, there is nothing so revolting as revolution.
George Bernard Shaw
A love affair should always be a honeymoon. And the only way to make sure of that is to keep changing the man for the same man can never keep it up.
George Bernard Shaw
The quality of a play is the quality of its ideas.
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. But here again, because there is nothing to sell, there is a very general disposition to regard a married woman's work as no work at all, and to take it as a matter of course that she should not be paid for it.
George Bernard Shaw
A man never tells you anything until you contradict him.
George Bernard Shaw
Those who understand evil pardon it.
George Bernard Shaw
Man is unique in that he has plans, purpose and goals which require the need for criteria of choice. The need for ethical value is within man whose future may largely be determined by the choice he make
George Bernard Shaw
Marry Ann and at the end of a week you'll find no more inspiration in her than in a plate of muffins.
George Bernard Shaw
The technical history of modern harmony is a history of growth of toleration by the human ear of chords that at first sounded discordant and senseless to the main body of contemporary professional musicians.
George Bernard Shaw
People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances.
George Bernard Shaw
If I refuse to allow my leg to be amputated, its mortification and my death may prove that I was wrong but if I let the leg go, nobody can ever prove that it would not have mortified had I been obstinate. Operation is therefore the safe side for the surgeon as well as the lucrative side.
George Bernard Shaw
If associations to control burglary and murder were tolerated we should take it for granted that the members should all be burglers and murderers.
George Bernard Shaw
Hypocrisy ... is only bad when it is improperly used.
George Bernard Shaw
A man's own self is the last person to believe in him, and is harder to cheat than the rest of the world.
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
It is not the number of years we have behind us, but the number we have before us, that makes us careful and responsible and determined to find out the truth about everything.
George Bernard Shaw
My main reason for adopting literature as a profession was that, as the author is never seen by his clients, he need not dress respectably.
George Bernard Shaw
I finished my first book seventy-six years ago. I offered it to every publisher on the English-speaking earth I had ever heard of. Their refusals were unanimous: and it did not get into print until, fifty years later publishers would publish anything that had my name on it.
George Bernard Shaw
Decency is indecency's conspiracy of silence
George Bernard Shaw
All professions are conspiracies against the laity.
George Bernard Shaw
