More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
The quality of a play is the quality of its ideas.
George Bernard Shaw
To be in hell is to drift to be in heaven is to steer.
George Bernard Shaw
Those who understand evil pardon it.
George Bernard Shaw
Every man deserves to be judged in the context of his times.
George Bernard Shaw
A man of my spiritual intensity does not eat corpses.
George Bernard Shaw
The fact is that the intrinsic worth of the book, play or whatever the author is trying to sell is the least, last factor in the the whole transaction.
George Bernard Shaw
The philosopher is Nature's pilot.
George Bernard Shaw
If parents would only realize how they bore their children.
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
I dread success. To have succeeded is to have finished one's business on earth, like the male spider who is killed by the female the moment he has succeeded in his courtship. I like the state of continual becoming, with a goal in front and not behind.
George Bernard Shaw
In the arts of peace Man is a bungler.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
An English army led by an Irish general: that might be a match for a French army led by an Italian general.
George Bernard Shaw
It is easy - terribly easy - to shake a man's faith in himself. To take advantage of that to break a man's spirit is devil's work.
George Bernard Shaw
No man can be a pure specialist without being in the strict sense an idiot.
George Bernard Shaw
From a very early age, I've had to interrupt my education to go to school.
George Bernard Shaw
The popular definition of tragedy is heavy drama in which everyone is killed in the last act, comedy being light drama in which everyone is married in the last act.
George Bernard Shaw
The British soldier can stand up to anything except the British War Office.
George Bernard Shaw
The golden rule is that there are no golden rules.
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
