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 own suffering or limitations can distort their perception of others. It suggests that a man experiencing toothache, a form of pain and discomfort, might assume that those without toothaches must therefore be happy. Similarly, a poor person might falsely believe that all wealthy individuals are free from the hardships they themselves face. The quote speaks to the human tendency to judge others based solely on external appearances, without understanding the full reality of their circumstances. It serves as a reminder not to make assumptions or compare one's own struggles to that of others.

The dancing pair that simply sought renown,By holding out to tire each other downThe swain mistrustless of his smutted face,While secret laughter titter'd round the placeThe bashful virgin's sidelong looks of love,The matrons glance that would those looks reproveThese were thy charms, sweet village sports like these,With sweet succession, taught e'en toil to pleaseThese were thy bowers their cheerful influence shed,These were thy charms but all these charms are fled.
