George Bernard Shaw
Men trifle with their business and their politics but never trifle with their games. It brings truth home to them. They cannot pretend they have won when they have lost nor that they had a magnificent drive when they foozled it. The Englishman is at his best on the links and at his worst in the Cabinet.
George Bernard Shaw
You see things and you say, ‘Why?’ But I dream things that never were and I say, ‘Why not?
George Bernard Shaw
Both optimists and pessimists contribute to society. The optimist invents the aeroplane, the pessimist the parachute.
George Bernard Shaw
There is only one person an English girl hates more than she hates her elder sister and that is her mother.
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
We call the one side [of humanity] religion, and we call the other science. Religion is always right. ... Science is always wrong it is the very artifice of men. Science can never solve one problem without raising ten more problems.
George Bernard Shaw
You have a choice of trusting the natural stability of gold, or the honesty and intelligence of members of government.
George Bernard Shaw
I lay my eternal curse on whomsoever shall now or at any time hereafter make schoolbooks of my works and make me hated as Shakespeare is hated. My plays were not designed as instruments of torture. All the schools that lust after them get this answer, and will never get any other.
George Bernard Shaw
