Quote by George Bernard Shaw

Some men see things as they are and say why ... I dream things that never were and say why not.

Some men see things as they are and say why ... I dream thin

Summary

This quote, often attributed to George Bernard Shaw, depicts how different individuals perceive the world in contrasting ways. Those who see things "as they are" tend to question the purpose, reason, or feasibility behind existing circumstances. However, the second part of the quote highlights the mindset of those who envision possibilities that have never been experienced. Such individuals challenge the status quo and wonder why new ideas, innovations, or dreams cannot be pursued or realized. This quote invites us to think beyond limits and embrace our capacity to envision a better future by daring to explore uncharted territories.

For Americans war is almost all of the time a nuisance, and military skill is a luxury like Mah-Jongg. But when the issue is brought home to them, war becomes as important, for the necessary period, as business or sport. And it is hard to decide which is likely to be the more ominous for the Axis -- an American decision that this is sport, or that it is business.
