I was pondering on anything to post here, especially that the Holidays are over and it’s a new year, maybe some thoughts pertaining to it, and I discovered I haven’t got any. Anyway, as with every New Year’s Eve celebration with the family—I did not light a single firecracker. I’ve been practicing this since 1992, and sure is great having all my fingers intact after all these years. So in lieu of nothing to say or write, I’ll just share these quotes from George Bernard Shaw, a chap who lived before us. I must admit though that Oscar Wilde is still the wittier guy. And yeah, I have new year's resolutions that I don't want to talk/write about.
The secret to success is to offend the greatest number of people.
The things most people want to know about are usually none of their business.
There is no sincerer love than the love of food.
There is no subject on which more dangerous nonsense is talked and thought than marriage.
There is nothing more dangerous than the conscience of a bigot.
There is only one religion, though there are a hundred versions of it.
Use your health, even to the point of wearing it out. That is what it is for. Spend all you have before you die; do not outlive yourself.
When a man says money can do anything, that settles it: he hasn't got any.
Why, except as a means of livelihood, a man should desire to act on the stage when he has the whole world to act in, is not clear to me.
You use a glass mirror to see your face; you use works of art to see your soul.
You'll never have a quiet world till you knock the patriotism out of the human race.
Lack of money is the root of all evil.
Independence? That's middle class blasphemy. We are all dependent on one another, every soul of us on earth.
If you leave the smallest corner of your head vacant for a moment, other people's opinions will rush in from all quarters.
I'm an atheist and I thank God for it.
I would like to take you seriously, but to do so would be an affront to your intelligence.
Everything happens to everybody sooner or later if there is time enough.
Do not do unto others as you expect they should do unto you. Their tastes may not be the same.
