Spend all you have before you ...

Spend all you have before you die, and do not outlive yourself.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

All Artists are Anarchists....

All Artists are Anarchists.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

People get tired of everything...

People get tired of everything, and of nothing sooner than of what they most like.

It is necessary for the welfare of society that genius should be privileged to utter sedition, to blaspheme, to outrage good taste, to corrupt the youthful mind, and generally to scandalize one's uncles.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

I was taught when I was young ...

I was taught when I was young that if people would only love one another, all would be well with the world. I found when I tried to put that into practice, not only were other people seldom lovable but I wasn't very lovable myself.

It is ridiculous to say that art has nothing to do with morality. What is true is that the artist's business is not that of the policeman.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

If more than 10% of the people...

If more than 10% of the people like a painting, you can be sure it's bad.

The theory that music has a depraving effect on morals has now been abandoned to the old women of both sexes.

How you ought properly to spell 'fish' in English: 'goti' .

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

Leisure may be defined as free...

Leisure may be defined as free activity, labor as compulsory activity. Leisure does what it likes, labor does what it must, the compulsion being that of Nature, which in these latitudes leaves men no choice between labor and starvation.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

The joy in life is to be used ...

The joy in life is to be used for a purpose. I want to be used up when I die.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

We live in an atmosphere of shame. We are ashamed of everything that is real about us; ashamed of ourselves, of our relatives, of our incomes, of our accents, of our opinions, of our experience, just as we are ashamed of our naked skins.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

There is nothing that can be changed more completely than human nature when the job is taken in hand early enough.

Heartbreak is life educating us.

When we want to read of the deeds that are done for love, whither do we turn? To the murder column.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

I have always held the religion of Muhammad in high estimation because of its wonderful vitality. It is the only religion which appears to me to possess that assimilating capacity to the changing phase of existence which can make itself appeal to every age. I have studied him - the wonderful man and in my opinion far from being an anti-Christ, he must be called the Savior of Humanity.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

I believe that if a man like him were to assume the dictatorship of the modern world he would succeed in solving its problems in a way that would bring it the much needed peace and happiness: I have prophesied about the faith of Muhammad that it would be acceptable to the Europe of tomorrow as it is beginning to be acceptable to the Europe of today.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

If you lived in London, where ...

If you lived in London, where the whole system is one of false good-fellowship, and you may know a man for twenty years without finding out that he hates you like poison, you would soon have your eyes opened. There we do unkind things in a kind way: we say bitter things in a sweet voice: we always give our friends chloroform when we tear them to pieces.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

The greatest of evils and the worst of crimes is poverty.

Security, the chief pretense of civilization, cannot exist where the worst of dangers, the danger of poverty, hangs over everyone's head.
