25 quotes by George Bernard Shaw to get you thinking

06/16/2025 by
25 quotes by George Bernard Shaw

Today, I thought it would be interesting to explore some of the many quotes by George Bernard Shaw.

George Bernard Shaw was an Irish playwright, critic, and political activist.

His influence on Western theatre, culture, and politics extended from the 1880s to his death and indeed beyond.

Shaw was born in Dublin but moved to London in 1876, at the age of 20.

While he struggled to establish himself as a writer and novelist, he embarked on a rigorous process of self-education.

Views publicly expressed by Shaw were often contentious, and he courted unpopularity by denouncing both sides in the First World War (WW1).

Though not a Republican, he was also critical of British policy on Ireland in the post-WW1 period.

Shaw continued to write prolifically until shortly before his death, at the age of 94, and he left us with a legacy of interesting observations.

So, today I offer you 25 such observations in the form of quotes by George Bernard Shaw, all of which will make you think, I’m sure.

Take a few minutes to read these quotes and be inspired.

And please feel free to share them.

And if you’re on the move, take a look at the video version of the quotes below.

  1. Youth is wasted on the young.
  2. Lack of money is the root of all evil.
  3. All great truths begin as blasphemies.

  5. The golden rule is that there are no golden rules.
  6. A perpetual holiday is a good working definition of hell.
  7. Science never solves a problem without creating ten more.
  8. Liberty means responsibility. That is why most men dread it.
  9. Beware of false knowledge; it is more dangerous than ignorance.
  10. There is only one religion, though there are a hundred versions of it.
  11. Take care to get what you like, or you’ll be forced to like what you get.
  12. We don’t stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.
  13. The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.
  14. A government that robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.
  15. You see things and you say, ‘Why?’ But I dream things that never were, and I say, ‘Why not?’

Quotes by George Bernard Shaw (16-25):

  1. The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who have not got it.
  2. Success does not consist in never making mistakes, but in never making the same one a second time.
  3. A life spent making mistakes is not only more honourable but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.
  4. Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.
  5. Choose silence of all virtues, for by it you hear other men’s imperfections and conceal your own.
  6. When I was young, I observed that nine out of ten things I did were failures. So, I did ten times more work.
  7. The only way to avoid being miserable is not to have enough leisure to wonder whether you are happy or not.
  8. The moment we want to believe something, we suddenly see all the arguments for it and become blind to the arguments against it.
  9. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can’t find them, make them.
  10. The only service a friend can really render is to keep up your courage by holding up to you a mirror in which you can see a noble image of yourself.

60 Truisms reflecting life and the human condition

06/14/2025 by

I’m often guilty of using truisms to reinforce a message, particularly when I’m giving a presentation.

People will often say that while truisms are generally accepted as obvious truths when repeated frequently, they can seem boring or clichéd.

Well, I think they’re useful tools for making points about life and the human condition and, occasionally, raising a smile too.

We smile because we recognise the underlying truth, which is always at the heart of great wit.

Today, dear reader, I offer you 60 examples of truisms that I love and frequently use.

Take a few moments to review them all, and feel free to share them with your friends.

Alternatively, you might want to use some of these truisms yourself.

In that case, please see how many of them you can use in your conversations today.

Make Money

Examples of truisms (1-20):

  1. Life isn’t fair.
  2. The truth will out.
  3. Patience is a virtue.
  4. Money makes money.
  5. It ain’t over ‘til it’s over.
  6. Stupid is as stupid does.
  7. We’re all cremated equal.
  8. A friend in need is a pest.

Looking for some awesome quotes, dear reader? Well, I have 15 good ones for you today. I’m confident that they’ll all make you think, and they are truly inspirational.

Allow me to stress that the points made about the references to men in the quotes apply equally to women.

So, ladies, if you are using such a quote, feel free to substitute the word ‘woman’ for ‘man.’ There’s nothing wrong with a little poetic licence (or poetic license, depending on your preferred spelling).

Anyway, take a few moments to enjoy them all and be inspired.

And please feel free to pass them on.
