Quotation 4


" He who can, does. He who cannot, ......... "


by George Bernard Shaw





Shaw is one of the my favourite western thinkers. I am not a socialist sure but I know that Shaw was a man of truths, was speaking and writing this way. And he was surely one of the greatest thinkers of Europeans.

George Bernard Shaw (26 July 1856 - 2 November 1950)

was an Irish writer. Famed as a playwright, he wrote more than sixty plays. He was uniquely honoured by being awarded both a Nobel Prize (1925) for his contribution to literature and an Oscar (1938) for Pygmalion. He was a strong advocate for socialism and women's rights, a vegetarian and teetotaller, and a harsh critic of formal education. Shaw died in 1950 at the age of 94.
