Quote by George Bernard Shaw

The man with toothache thinks everyone happy whose teeth are sound. The poverty stricken man makes the same mistake about the rich man.

The man with toothache thinks everyone happy whose teeth are

Summary

This quote highlights how one's perspective can lead to mistaken assumptions about others. When someone is in pain or lacking something, they may perceive those who possess the opposite as being completely content. For example, a man suffering from toothache may believe that anyone with no tooth issues must be happy. Similarly, a person facing poverty may wrongly assume that those who are wealthy don't have a care in the world. This quote serves as a reminder that appearances can be deceiving and that understanding another person's true circumstances requires empathy and deeper insight.
