His education was irregular, due to his dislike of any organized training. He began his literary career as a novelist. Later he decided to write plays in order to illustrate his criticism of the English stage. Shaw’s main talent was for drama, and he wrote more than 60 plays.<\/p>\n
He is the only person to have been awarded both a Nobel Prize for Literature (1925) and an Oscar (1938), for his contributions to literature and for his work on the film Pygmalion, respectively.<\/p>\n
Shaw wanted to refuse his Nobel Prize outright because he had no desire for public honors, but later accepted it.

– George Bernard Shaw Quotes –<\/b><\/p>\n
A learned man is an idler who kills time by study.<\/strong> The only way to avoid being miserable is not to have enough leisure to wonder whether you are happy or not.<\/strong> We have no more right to consume happiness without producing it than to consume wealth without producing it.<\/strong> A broken heart is a very pleasant complaint for a man in London if he has a comfortable income.<\/strong> A fashion is nothing but an induced epidemic.<\/strong> A fool’s brain digests philosophy into folly, science into superstition, and art into pedantry. Hence University education.<\/strong> A gentleman is one who puts more into the world than he takes out.<\/strong> A government that robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.<\/strong> A happy family is but an earlier heaven.<\/strong> Suppose the world were only one of God’s jokes, would you work any the less to make it a good joke instead of a bad one?<\/strong> A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.<\/strong> A little learning is a dangerous thing, but we must take that risk because a little is as much as our biggest heads can hold.<\/strong> A man never tells you anything until you contradict him.<\/strong> A man of great common sense and good taste – meaning thereby a man without originality or moral courage.<\/strong> A man who has no office to go, to I don’t care who he is, is a trial of which you can have no conception.<\/strong> A perpetual holiday is a good working definition of hell.<\/strong> Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.<\/strong> A veteran journalist has never had time to think twice before he writes.<\/strong> All my life affection has been showered upon me, and every forward step I have made has been taken in spite of it.<\/strong> All great truths begin as blasphemies.<\/strong> Alcohol is the anesthesia by which we endure the operation of life.<\/strong> Americans adore me and will go on adoring me until I say something nice about them.<\/strong> An asylum for the sane would be empty in America.<\/strong> An election is a moral horror, as bad as a battle except for the blood; a mud bath for every soul concerned in it.<\/strong> An Englishman thinks he is moral when he is only uncomfortable.<\/strong> You see things; and you say, ‘Why?’ But I dream things that never were; and I say, ‘Why not?’<\/strong> I would like to take you seriously, but to do so would be an affront to your intelligence.<\/strong> Hatred is the coward’s revenge for being intimidated.<\/strong> We are made wise not by the recollection of our past, but by the responsibility for our future.<\/strong> Perhaps the greatest social service that can be rendered by anybody to this country and to mankind is to bring up a family.<\/strong> If you cannot get rid of the family skeleton, you may as well make it dance.<\/strong> We learn from experience that men never learn anything from experience.<\/strong> The golden rule is that there are no golden rules. Do not do unto others as you would they should do unto you; their tastes may not be the same.<\/strong> I enjoy convalescence. It is the part that makes the illness worth while.<\/strong> The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one. The happiness of credulity is a cheap and dangerous quality.<\/strong> Life is a flame that is always burning itself out, but it catches fire again every time a child is born.<\/strong> Crude classifications and false generalisations are the curse of organised life<\/strong> His education was irregular, due to his dislike of any organized training.
