All GEORGE BERNARD SHAW Quotes about “Character”

“Better keep yourself clean and bright; you are the window through which you must see the world.”
“The more things a man is ashamed of, the more respectable he is.”

You would be forcibly feed, clothed, lodged, taught, and employed whether you like it or not.

“Have you ever met a man of good character where women are concerned?”
“If there is anything I hate in a woman, it's want of character.”
