George Bernard Shaw -- Irish dramatist, literary critic, socialist spokesman, 20th century theater figure, Nobel Laureate in Literature (1925), freethinker, defender of women's rights, and advocate of equality of income.
Shaw was always outspoken and frequently misinterpreted by the more conservative elements of society. Yet he managed to offer some keen insights on the human community and condition. Here are a few:
In a battle all you need to make you fight is a little hot blood and the knowledge that it's more dangerous to lose than to win.
In this world there is always danger for those who are afraid of it.
When a stupid man is doing something he is ashamed of, he always declares that it is his duty.
What do you think? Has he captured some truth?
