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.

The disgraced Usurer Yankel D took the baby girl home that evening... He made a bed of crumpled newspaper in a deep baking pan and gently tucked it in the oven, so that she wouldn't be disturbed by the noise of the small falls outside... When he pulled her out to feed her or just hold her, her body was tattooed with the newsprint... Sometimes he would rock her to sleep in his arms, and read her left to right, and know everything he needed to know about the world. If it wasn't written on her, it wasn't important to him.

I believe there is no philosophical high-road in science, with epistemological signposts. No, we are in a jungle and find our way by trial and error, building our road behind us as we proceed. We do not find signposts at crossroads, but our own scouts erect them, to help the rest.
