More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
When we know what God is, we shall be gods ourselves.
George Bernard Shaw
You do not settle whether an argument is justified by merely showing that it is of some use. The distinction is not between useful and useless experiments but between barbarous and civilized behaviour. Vivisection is a social evil because if it advances human knowledge, it does so at the expense of human character.
George Bernard Shaw
If you cannot have what you believe in you must believe in what you have.
George Bernard Shaw
All the sweetness of religion is conveyed to the world by the hands of storytellers and image-makers. Without their fictions the truths of religion would for the multitude be neither intelligible nor even apprehensible and the prophets would prophesy and the teachers teach in vain.
George Bernard Shaw
A man ought to be able to be fond of his wife without making a fool of himself about her.
George Bernard Shaw
I am a Christian. That obliges me to be a Communist.
George Bernard Shaw
A married man forms married habits and becomes dependent on marriage just as a sailor becomes dependent on the sea.
George Bernard Shaw
History, sir, will tell lies as usual.
George Bernard Shaw
I learned more from the first stupid woman who fell in love with me than ever my brains taught me.
George Bernard Shaw
The worst sin toward our fellow creatures is not to hate them, but to be indifferent to them: that's the essence of inhumanity.
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
There is only one person an English girl hates more than she hates her elder sister and that is her mother.
George Bernard Shaw
A photographer is like a cod, which produces a million eggs in order that one may reach maturity.
George Bernard Shaw
Every girl has a right to be loved.
George Bernard Shaw
Until the men of action clear out the talkers we who have social consciences are at the mercy of those who have none.
George Bernard Shaw
Nationalism must now be added to the refuse pile of superstitions. We are now citizens of the world, and the man who divides the race into elect Irishmen and reprobate foreign devils (especially Englishmen) had better live on the Blaskets where he can admire himself without disturbance.
George Bernard Shaw
There is nothing on earth more exquisite than a bonny book, with well-placed columns of rich black writing in beautiful borders, and illuminated pictures cunningly inset. But nowadays, instead of looking at books, people read them. A book might as well be one of those orders for bacon and bran.
George Bernard Shaw
People who are hard, grasping and always ready to take advantage of their neighbors become very rich.
George Bernard Shaw
Great art is never produced for its own sake. It is too difficult to be worth the effort.
George Bernard Shaw
I sold flowers. I didn't sell myself. Now you've made a lady of me I'm not fit to sell anything else.
George Bernard Shaw
