It is the end of happiness and the beginning of peace.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

When people shake their heads ...

When people shake their heads because we are living in a restless age, ask them how they would like to life in a stationary one, and do without change

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

It's a pity youth is wasted on the young.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

Liberty is the breath of life ...

Liberty is the breath of life to nations.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

The camera can represent flesh...

The camera can represent flesh so superbly that, if I dared, I would never photograph a figure without asking that figure to take its clothes off.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

The only way in which a nation...

The only way in which a nation can make itself wealthy and prosperous is by good housekeeping: that is, by providing for its wants in the order of their importance, and allowing no money to be wasted on whims and luxuries until necessities have been thoroughly served.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

If a group of beings from anot...

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

No diet will remove all the fa...

No diet will remove all the fat from your body because the brain is entirely fat. Without a brain, you might look good, but all you could do is run for public office.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

Great art is never produced fo...

Great art is never produced for its own sake. It is too difficult to be worth the effort.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

All the sweetness of religion ...

All the sweetness of religion is conveyed to the world by the hands of storytellers and image-makers. Without their fictions the truths of religion would for the multitude be neither intelligible nor even apprehensible; and the prophets would prophesy and the teachers teach in vain.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

Experience fails to teach where there is no desire to learn.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

Every fool believes what his t...

Every fool believes what his teachers tell him, and calls his credulity science or morality as confidently as his father called it divine revelation.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

I'm only a beer teetotaler, not a champagne teetotaler; I don't like beer.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

Alcohol is a very necessary article. It enables Parliament to do things at eleven at night that no sane person would do at eleven in the morning.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

Perhaps you know some well-off...

Perhaps you know some well-off families who do not seem to suffer from their riches. They do not overeat themselves; they find occupations to keep themselves in health; they do not worry about their position; they put their money into safe investments and are content with a low rate of interest; and they bring up their children to live simply and do useful work. But this means that they do not live like rich people at all, and might therefore just as well have ordinary incomes.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

Love is a gross exaggeration of the difference between one person and everybody else.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

The novelties of one generation are only the resuscitated fashions of the generation before last.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

What is both surprising and de...

What is both surprising and delightful is that the spectators are allowed, and even expected, to join in the vocal part of the game...There is no reason why the field should not try to put the batsman off his stroke at the critical moment by neatly timed disparagements of his wife's fidelity and his mother's respectability.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

Some people look at the world ...

Some people look at the world and say 'why?' Some people look at the world and say 'why not?'

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

A day's work is a day's work, ...

A day's work is a day's work, neither more nor less, and the man or woman who does it needs a day's sustenance, a night's repose and due leisure, whether they be painter or ploughman.
