"There was only one virtue, pugnacity; only..." - Quote by George Bernard Shaw

“There is nothing on earth intended for innocent people so horrible as a school.”

“Progress is impossible without change; and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.”

“A man ought to be able to be fond of his wife without making a fool of himself about her.”

“There is no act, however virtuous, for which ingenuity may not find some bad motive.”

“In a virtuous and free state, no rewards can be so pleasing to sensible minds, as those which include the approbation of our fellow citizens. My great pain is, lest my poor endeavours should fall short of the kind expectations of my country.”

“Happiness, whether consisting in pleasure or virtue, or both, is more often found with those who are highly cultivated in their minds and in their character, and have only a moderate share of external goods, than among those who possess external goods to a useless extent but are deficient in higher qualities.”

“Extremes meet, and there is no better example than the naughtiness of humility.”

“Our whole life is startlingly moral. There is never an instant's truce between virtue and vice.”

“If a woman wants to hold a man she has merely to appeal to what is worst in him.”
