Democracy is a devise which ensures that we shall be governed no better than we deserve.''George Bernard Shaw (b. 26 July, 1856, d. November 2, 1950).
.
Shaw was born in Ireland but spent most of his adult life in England. Famed as a playwright, he wrote more than sixty plays; he was a very British thinker. Shaw 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 vocal enemy of formal education.
