Quotes, sayings and idioms are nice..most of the time. They guide and inspire us to do the right thing. But at times, in real life, basing important things on what a great man once said might not be the smartest thing to do. Gandhiji's ideology of offering the other cheek after being slapped on one can prove fatal in this day of knife/pistol wielding muggers and local bhais (Assuming that in real life, munnabhais are not really amusing!). For times like these we might be better off being cynical about what great men said. To drive home this point, I'll quote what a great man once said [sic]
It is unwise to do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Their tastes may not be the same - George Bernard Shaw
