Civilized society is one huge bourgeoisie: no nobleman dares now shock his greengrocer.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

We must not stay as we are, do...

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 myself have been particularly careful never to say a civil word to the United States. I have scoffed at their inhabitants as a nation of villagers. I have defined the 100 % American as 99 % an idiot. And they adore me.

My opportunities were still th...

My opportunities were still there, nay, they multiplied tenfold; but the strength and youth to cope with them began to fail, and to need eking out with the shifty cunning of experience.

What is the use of straining after an amiable view of things, when a cynical view is most likely to be the true one?.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

Our laws make law impossible; ...

Our laws make law impossible; our liberties destroy all freedom; our property is organized robbery; our morality an impudent hypocrisy; our wisdom is administered by inexperienced or mal-experienced dupes; our power wielded by cowards and weaklings; and our honour false in all its points. I am an enemy of the existing order for good reasons

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

Nobody can say a word against ...

Nobody can say a word against Greek: it stamps a man at once as an educated gentlemen.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

Eternal is the fact that the human creature born in Ireland and brought up in its air is Irish. I have lived for twenty years in Ireland and for seventy-two in England; but the twenty came first and in Britain I am still a foreigner and shall die one.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

To disbelieve in marriage is easy: to love a married woman is easy; but to betray a comrade, to be disloyal to a host, to break the covenant of bread and salt, is impossible.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

The one point on which all wom...

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.

Never resist temptation: prove all things: hold fast that which is good.

What I say today everybody will say tomorrow, though they will not remember who put it into their heads. Indeed they will be right for I never remember who puts things into my head : it is the Zeitgeist.

A vegetarian is not a person who lives on vegetables, any more than a Catholic is a person who lives on cats.

A socialist is somebody who doesn't have anything, and is ready to divide it up equally among everybody.

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.
