It is the eye of other people that ruin us. If I were blind I would want, neither fine clothes, fine houses or fine furniture.Benjamin Franklin
Tricks and treachery are the practice of fools, that don't have brains enough to be honest.Benjamin Franklin
What a man believes may be ascertained, not from his creed, but from the assumptions on which he habitually acts.Bernard Shaw
A statesman who confines himself to popular legislation - or, for the matter of that, a playwright who confines himself to popular plays - is like a blind man's dog who goes wherever the blind man pulls him, on the ground that both of them want to go to the same place.Bernard Shaw
If you leave the smallest corner of your head vacant for a moment, other people's opinions will rush in from all quarters.Bernard Shaw
