Text Quotes
Human misery is so appalling nowadays that if we allowed ourselves to dwell on it we should only add imaginary miseries of our own to the real miseries of others without doing them any good (George Bernard Shaw Quotes)
There is the eternal war between those who are in the world for what they can get out of it and those who are in the world to make it a better place for everybody to live in (George Bernard Shaw Quotes)
In truth, mankind cannot be saved from without, by schoolmasters or any other sort of masters: it can only be lamed and enslaved by them. It is said that if you wash a cat it will never again wash itself. This may or may not be true : what is certain is that if you teach a man anything he will never learn it; and if you cure him of a disease he will be unable to cure himself the next time it attacks him (George Bernard Shaw Quotes)
When domestic servants are treated as human beings it is not worth while to keep them (George Bernard Shaw Quotes)
Everyone can see that the people who hunt are the right people and the people who don’t are the wrong ones (George Bernard Shaw Quotes)
It is quite useless to declare that all men are born free if you deny that they are born good. Guarantee a man’s goodness and his liberty will take care of itself. To guarantee his freedom on condition that you approve of his moral character is formally to abolish all freedom whatsoever, as every man’s liberty is at the mercy of a moral indictment which any fool can trump up against everyone who violates custom, whether as a prophet or as a rascal (George Bernard Shaw Quotes)
Love is an appetite which, like all other appetites, is destroyed for the moment by its gratification (George Bernard Shaw Quotes)
Never forget that if you leave your law to judges and your religion to bishops, you will presently find yourself without either law or religion (George Bernard Shaw Quotes)
As to spelling the very frequent word though with six letters instead of two, it is impossible to discuss it, as it is outside the range of common sanity. In comparison such a monstrosity as phlegm for flem is merely disgusting (George Bernard Shaw Quotes)
I am justified. For I chose wisdom and the knowledge of good and evil ; and now there is no evil; and wisdom and good are one. It is enough (George Bernard Shaw Quotes)
Women are not angels. They are as foolish as men in many ways; but they have had to devote themselves to life whilst men have had to devote themselves to death; and that makes a vital difference in male and female religion. Women have been forced to fear whilst men have been forced to dare: the heroism of a woman is to nurse and protect life, and of a man to destroy it and court death (George Bernard Shaw Quotes)
Nothing is more dreadful than a husband who keeps telling you everything he thinks, and always wants to know what you think (George Bernard Shaw Quotes)
It’s prudent to gain the whole world and lose your own soul. But don’t forget that your soul sticks to you if you stick to it; but the world has a way of slipping through your fingers (George Bernard Shaw Quotes)
Not everybody is strong enough to endure life without an anesthetic. Drink probably averts more gross crime than it causes (George Bernard Shaw Quotes)
Two people getting together to write a book is like three people getting together to have a baby. One of them is superfluous (George Bernard Shaw Quotes)
It is nearly 50 years since I was assured by a conclave of doctors that if I did not eat meat I should die of starvation (George Bernard Shaw Quotes)
I don’t like the idea of killing my fellow creatures in order to eat their dead bodies (George Bernard Shaw Quotes)
A woman whose face looked as if it had been made of sugar and someone had licked it (George Bernard Shaw Quotes)
If all the statisticians in the world were laid head to toe, they wouldn’t be able to reach a conclusion (George Bernard Shaw Quotes)
An author who gives a manager or publisher any rights in his work except those immediately and specifically required for its publication or performance is for business purposes an imbecile (George Bernard Shaw Quotes)
Well, upon my soul! You are not ashamed to stand there and confess yourself a disgusting drunkard (George Bernard Shaw Quotes)
Your heart and your mouth wil be in two separate parts of your body if you again forget in whose presence you stand (George Bernard Shaw Quotes)
The fact that we can become accustomed to anything, however disgusting at first, makes it necessary to examine carefully everything we have become accustomed to (George Bernard Shaw Quotes)
Financiers live in a world of illusion. They count on something which they call the capital of the country, which has no existence (George Bernard Shaw Quotes)
Think what cowards men would be if they had to bear children. Women are altogether a superior species (George Bernard Shaw Quotes)
I do not want actors and actresses to understand my plays. That is not necessary. If they will only pronounce the correct sounds I can guarantee the results (George Bernard Shaw Quotes)
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 Quotes)
The great dramatist has something better to do than to amuse either himself or his audience. He has to interpret life (George Bernard Shaw Quotes)
I find that the moment I let a woman make friends with me, she becomes jealous, exacting, suspicious, and a damned nuisance. I find that the moment I let myself make friends with a woman, I become selfish and tyrannical (George Bernard Shaw Quotes)
Live in contact with dreams and you will get something of their charm: live in contact with facts and you will get something of their brutality. I wish I could find a country to live in where the facts were not brutal and the dreams not real (George Bernard Shaw Quotes)
