Shaw, George Bernard

All professions are conspiracies against the layman

Old men are dangerous, they don't care about the future

Decency is the conspiracy of indecency with silence

Sleeping is also a form of criticism, especially in the theatre

The greatest evil we can do to our fellow human beings is not to hate them, but to be indifferent to them. This is absolute inhumanity

Youth is a wonderful thing. It's a shame to waste it on children

Churches must learn humility as they teach them

The fads are really just introduced epidemics

The punishment for the liar is not that no one believes him, but that he can no longer believe anyone himself

Virtue does not consist in renouncing vice, but in not desiring it

A loving woman is a slave who puts the chains on her master

Mrs. Warren's Trade

Money is not everything But a lot of money, that's something else

Eventually, aging stops; one then only weathers

Love at first sight is about as reliable as diagnosis at first handshake

Man can climb the hightest summits, but he cannot dwell there long

What flatters a man is not the content of the flattery, but the fact that he is considered worthy of flattery

Whiskey is liquid sunlight
