George Bernard Shaw, Caesar and Cleopatra (1901) quotes
"When a stupid man is doing something he is ashamed of, he always declares that it is his duty."
He who fears he will suffer, already suffers because of his fear.
Riches, like glory or heath, have no more beauty or pleasure than their possessor is pleased to lend them.
"When a stupid man is doing something he is ashamed of, he always declares that it is his duty."
