More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
Independence? That's middle class blasphemy. We are all dependent on one another, every soul of us on earth.
George Bernard Shaw
Would the world ever have been made if its maker had been afraid of making trouble?Making life means making trouble. There’s only one way of escaping trouble and that’s killing things.
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
Progress is impossible without change and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.
George Bernard Shaw
Besides, do any of us understand what we are doing? If we did, would we ever do it?
George Bernard Shaw
You are my inspiration and my folly. You are my light across the sea, my million nameless joys, and my day's wage. You are my divinity, my madness, my selfishness, my transfiguration and purification. You are my rapscallionly fellow vagabond, my tempter and star. I want you.
George Bernard Shaw
This is the true joy of life-the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one, the being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown to the scrap-heap the being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish clod of ailments and grievances.
George Bernard Shaw
It's usually pointed out that women are not fit for political power, and ought not to be trusted with a vote because they are politically ignorant, socially prejudiced, narrow-minded, and selfish. True enough, but precisely the same is true of men!
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
Happy is the man who can make a living by his hobby
George Bernard Shaw
The golden rule is that there are no golden rules.
George Bernard Shaw
Money is a most important thing in the world.
George Bernard Shaw
Statistics show that of those who contract the habit of eating, very few survive.
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
Those who do not know how to live must make a merit of dying.
George Bernard Shaw
In your Salvation shelter I saw poverty, misery, cold and hunger. You gave them bread and treacle and dreams of heaven. I give from thirty shillings a week to twelve thousand a year. They find their own dreams but I look after the drainage.
George Bernard Shaw
After studying the Hungarian language for years, I can confidently conclude that had Hungarian been my mother tongue, it would have been more precious. Simply because through this extraordinary, ancient and powerful language it is possible to precisely describe the tiniest differences and the most secretive tremors of emotions.
George Bernard Shaw
As people get their opinions so largely from the newspapers they read... But the Press is not free, the newspapers are owned by rich men.
George Bernard Shaw
Nothing can save us from a perpetual headlong fall into a bottomless abyss but a solid footing of dogma and we no sooner agree to that than we find that the only trustworthy dogma is that there is no dogma.
George Bernard Shaw
To me the sole hope of human salvation lies in teaching.
George Bernard Shaw
