Memorable quotes... VII

From another great writer, George Bernard Shaw, came several quotes that I find to be interesting..

A fashion is nothing but an induced epidemic.

A fool's brain digests philosophy into folly, science into superstition, and art into pedantry.
Hence University education.


Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all other countries because you were born in it.

Silence is the most perfect expression of scorn.

Take care to get what you like or you will be forced to like what you get.

The possibilities are numerous once we decide to act and not react.

The moment we want to believe something, we suddenly see all the arguments for it, and become blind to the arguments against it.

People who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are doing it.

Choose silence of all virtues, for by it you hear other men's imperfections, and conceal your own.

Human beings are the only animals of which I am thoroughly and cravenly afraid.
