We must not stay as we are, doing always what was done last time, or we shall stick in the mud. Yet neither must we undertake a new world as catastrophic Utopians, and wreck our civilization in our hurry to mend it.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

I am giving you examples of t...

I am giving you examples of the fact that this creature man, who in his own selfish affairs is a coward to the backbone, will fight for an idea like a hero. . . . I tell you, gentlemen, if you can shew a man a piece of what he now calls God's work to do, and what he will later call by many new names, you can make him entirely reckless of the consequences to himself personally.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

What you are to do without me...

What you are to do without me I cannot imagine.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

Whenever an obviously well founded statement is made in England by a person specially well acquainted with the facts, that unlucky person is instantly and frantically contradicted by all the people who obviously know nothing about it.

The road to ignorance is paved with good editions. Only the illiterate can afford to buy good books now.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

Very nice sort of place, Oxford, I should think, for people that like that sort of place. They teach you to be a gentleman there. In the polytechnic they teach you to be an engineer or such like. See?

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

At present, intelligent people do not have their children vaccinated, nor does the law now compel them to. The result is not, as the Jennerians prophesied, the extermination of the human race by smallpox; on the contrary more people are now killed by vaccination than by smallpox.

There are only two classes in good society in England: the equestrian classes and the neurotic classes.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

The one point on which all wo...

The one point on which all women are in furious secret rebellion against the existing law is the saddling of the right to a child with the obligation to become the servant of a man.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

Shall I turn up the light for...

Shall I turn up the light for you? No, give me deeper darkness. Money is not made in the light.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

I talk democracy to these men...

I talk democracy to these men and women. I tell them that they have the vote, and that theirs is the kingdom and the power and the glory. I say to them You are supreme: exercise your power. They say, That's right: tell us what to do; and I tell them. I say Exercise our vote intelligently by voting for me. And they do. That's democracy; and a splendid thing it is too for putting the right men in the right place.

Stop being Jews and start being human beings.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

Though justice be Thy plea, consider this: That in the course of justice none of us should see salvation. We do pray for mercy, And that same prayer doth teach us all to render The deeds of mercy.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

My heart, my heart, be whole ...

My heart, my heart, be whole and free: Love is thine only enemy.

Let no one suppose that the words doctor and patient can disguise from the parties the fact that they are employer and employee.

Man is the only animals of which I am thoroughly and cravenly afraid.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

Absolute honesty is as absurd an abstraction as an absolute temperature or an absolute value.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

If you demand my authorities ...

If you demand my authorities for this and that, I must reply that only those who have never hunted up the authorities as I have believe that there is any authority who is not contradicted flatly by some other authority.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

Obedience simulates subordination as fear of the police simulates honesty.

There is a terrible truthfulness about photography that sometimes makes a thing look ridiculous.
