"The only service a friend can really..." - Quote by George Bernard Shaw

“Do you think that the things people make fools of themselves about are any less real and true than the things they behave sensibly about? They are more true: they are the only things that are true.”

“If you demand my authorities for this and that, I must reply that only those who have never hunted up the authorities as I have believe that there is any authority who is not contradicted flatly by some other authority.”

“All government is cruel; for nothing is so cruel as impunity.”

“If you are wise, all men will be your friends and kindred, for you will be useful.”

“Be civil to all; serviceable to many; familiar with few; friend to one; enemy to none.”

“Tolerance is the only thing that will enable persons belonging to different religions to live as good neighbours and friends.”

“The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing, and becomes nothing. He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn, feel, change, grow or love. Chained by his certitude, he is a slave; he has forfeited his freedom. Only the person who risks is truly free.”

“It takes a touch of genius - and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction.”

“I love the valiant; but it is not enough to wield a broadsword, one must also know against whom.”
