The sex relation is not a per...

The sex relation is not a personal relation. It can be irresistibly desired and rapturously consummated between persons who could not endure one another for a day in any other relation.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

Progress is impossible withou...

Progress is impossible without change; and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

A cigarette is a pinch of tobacco rolled in paper with fire at one end and a fool at the other.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

Marx's Kapital is not a treat...

Marx's Kapital is not a treatise on socialism; it is a gerrymand against the bourgeoisie. It was supposed to be written for the working class, but the working man respects the bourgeoisie and wants to be a bourgeoisie. Marx never got a hold of him for a moment. It was the revolting sons of the bourgeoisie itself, like myself, that painted the flag red. The middle and upper classes are the revolutionary element in society. The proletariat is the conservative element.

Islam is the best religion and Muslims are the worst followers

The best way to get your point across is to entertain.

I believe in the discipline of silence, and could talk for hours about it.

Being a mother means that your heart is no longer yours; it wanders wherever your children do

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

If a group of beings from ano...

If a group of beings from another planet were to land on Earth - beings who considered themselves as superior to you as you feel yourself to be to other animals - would you concede them the rights over you that you assume over other animals?

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

I dread success. To have succ...

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 1763 quotes

Capitalism drives the employe...

Capitalism drives the employers to do their worst to the employed, and the employed to do the least for them. And it boasts all the time of the incentive it provides to both to do their best! . . . The reason the Capitalist system has worked so far without jamming for more than a few months at a time, and then only in places, is that it has not yet succeeded in making a conquest of human nature so complete that everybody acts on strictly business principles.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

This is the true joy in life:...

This is the true joy in life: Being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one, being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances, complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community and as long as I live, it is my privilege to do for it what I can. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

The reasonable man adapts him...

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

The only person who acts sens...

The only person who acts sensibly is my tailor. He takes my measure anew every time he sees me. Everyone else goes by their old measurements.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

There is not one single established religion that an intelligent, educated man can believe.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

If there was twenty ways of t...

If there was twenty ways of telling the truth and only one way of telling a lie, the Government would find it out. It's in the nature of governments to tell lies.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

War does not decide who is right but who is left.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

Life is no brief candle to me...

Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got a hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.

A Native American elder once described his own inner struggles in this manner: Inside of me there are two dogs. One of the dogs is mean and evil. The other dog is good. The mean dog fights the good dog all the time. When asked which dog wins, he reflected for a moment and replied, The one I feed the most.

Discussing vaccination with a doctor is like discussing vegetarianism with a butcher.
