Quote by George Bernard Shaw

The seven deadly sins: food, clothing, firing, rent, taxes, respectability and children. Nothing can lift those seven milestones from man's neck but money; and the spirit cannot soar until the milestones are lifted.


The seven deadly sins: food, clothing, firing, rent, taxes,

Summary
