A Quote by George Bernard Shaw

Ideas are dangerous, but the man to whom they are least dangerous is the man of ideas. He is acquainted with ideas, and moves among them like a lion-tamer. Ideas are dangerous, but the man to whom they are most dangerous is the man of no ideas. The man of no ideas will find the first idea fly to his head like wine to the head of a teetotaller.
A wedding is for daughters and fathers. The mothers all dress up, trying to look like young women. But a wedding is for a father and daughter. They stop being married to each other on that day.
My daughter and I are so close. I can describe anything she's doing, the least little thing, and I get all excited about it. It's like medicine.

It's like taking a dose of medicine. It makes everything better.
