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:

It seems these might be interesting after some of us have spent time praying and/or reading the Bible today.
What do you think? Has he captured some truth?
