"Men have to do some awfully mean things to keep up their respectability." ― George Bernard Shaw Topic(s): Men More From George Bernard Shaw "Perhaps the greatest social service that can be rendered by anybody to the country and to mankind is to bring up a family." "Love is a gross exaggeration of the difference between one person and everybody else." "I would like to take you seriously, but to do so would be an affront to your intelligence." More In Men "Give to everyone who begs from you; and of him who takes away your goods do not ask them again. And as you wish that men would do to you, do so to them."― Jesus Christ "What I would say to the young men and women who are beset by hopelessness and doubt is that they should go and see what is being done on the ground to fight poverty, not like going to the zoo but to take action, to open their hearts and their consciences."― Abbe Pierre "The same principles which at first view lead to skepticism, pursued to a certain point, bring men back to common sense."― George Berkeley
