Quote by George Bernard Shaw

The nations morals are like its teeth, the more decayed they are the more it hurts to touch them

The nations morals are like its teeth, the more decayed they

Summary

This quote suggests that the state of a nation's morals can be compared to the condition of one's teeth. Just as decayed teeth are sensitive and painful when touched, the moral decay in society can be equally distressing. It implies that when a nation's moral compass weakens or erodes, the impact can be deeply felt, both on an individual and collective level. The quote underscores the importance of promoting and upholding strong moral values within a society to prevent further deterioration and the associated negative consequences.
