"Fear is choosing the safe course..." - Quote by George Bernard Shaw

“Make money and the whole nation will conspire to call you a gentleman.”

“Life levels all men. Death reveals the eminent.”

“The notion that the colonel need be a better man than the private is as confused as the notion that the keystone need be stronger than the coping stone.”

“Do what you fear and your fear will die.”

“Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men's views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it.”

“There is always a certain hour of the day and of the night when a man’s courage is at its lowest ebb, and it was that hour only that he feared.”

“Each man is master of his own death, and all that we can do when the time comes is to help him die without fear of pain.”

“I just usually go with my own taste. If I like something, and it happens to be against the law, well, then I might have a problem.”

“Each of us has the right and the responsibility to assess the roads which lie ahead, and those over which we have traveled, and if the future road looms ominous or unpromising, and the roads back uninviting, then we need to gather our resolve and, carrying only the necessary baggage, step off that road into another direction. If the new choice is also unpalatable, without embarrassment, we must be ready to change that as well.”
