George Bernard Shaw, Maxims for Revolutionists (Man and Superman, 1903)



Find the maxims here


Some examples:


Do not do unto others as you would that they should do unto you. Their tastes may not be the same.


The flunkeyism propagated by the throne is the price we pay for its political convenience.


Liberty means responsibility. That is why most men dread it.


When a man teaches something he does not know to somebody else who has no aptitude for it, and gives him a certificate of proficiency, the latter has completed the education of a gentleman.


He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches.


A learned man is an idler who kills time with study. Beware of his false knowledge: it is more dangerous than ignorance.
