"Poverty does not produce unhappiness: It produces..." - Quote by George Bernard Shaw

“A serious illness or a death advertises the doctor exactly as a hanging advertises the barrister who defended the person hanged.”

“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.”

“O Lord! I don't know which is the worst of the country, the walking or the sitting at home with nothing to do.”

“Somebody says, 'Well, I can't be concerned about other people. About the best I can do is to take care of myself' Well, then you will always be poor.”

“The vision of the anointed is one in which ills as poverty, irresponsible sex, and crime derive primarily from 'society,' rather than from individual choices and behavior. To believe in personal responsibility would be to destroy the whole special role of the anointed, whose vision casts them in the role of rescuers of people treated unfairly by 'society'.”

“A hungry mob is an angry mob.”

“When our hatred is violent, it sinks us even beneath those we hate.”

“...no man of genuinely superior intelligence has ever been an actor. Even supposing a young man of appreciable mental powers to be lured upon the stage, as philosophers are occasionally lured into bordellos, his mind would be inevitably and almost immediately destroyed by the gaudy nonsense issuing from his mouth every night.”

“A man who behaves like a beast is worse than the beast.”
