Quotes by George Bernard Shaw


  1. A day's work is a day's work, neither more nor less, and the man who does it needs a day's sustenance, a night's repose and due leisure, whether he be painter or ploughman.
  2. A fashion is nothing but an induced epidemic.
  3. A fool's brain digests philosophy into folly, science into superstition, and art into pedantry.
  4. A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.
  5. A lifetime of happiness! No man alive could bear it; it would be hell on earth.
  6. England and America are two countries separated by a common language.
  7. Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all other countries because you were born in it.
  8. Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh.
  9. If history repeats itself, and the unexpected always happens, how incapable must Man be of learning from experience.
  10. Martyrdom is the only way in which a man can become famous without ability. 
  11. Everything happens to everybody sooner or later if there is time enough.
