This is the true joy of life, the being used up for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clot of ailments and grievances, complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the community, and as long as I live, it is my privilege to do for it what I can.
- George Bernard Shaw
A healthy nation is as unconscious of its nationality as a healthy man of his bones. But if you break a nation’s nationality it will think of nothing else but getting it set again.
– George Bernard Shaw
“Modern poverty is not the poverty that was blest in the Sermon on the Mount.”
- George Bernard Shaw
Capitalism has destroyed our belief in any effective power but that of self interest backed by force. – George Bernard Shaw
