Among all men of letters, George Bernard Shaw arguably offered more wise, amusing, confounding, articulate, provocative and true statements on the condition of humanity and life than any other. The great Irish-born writer and critic was the ultimate independent thinker. A wordsmith of extraordinary concision and wit, his books and plays were trademarked by acute, accurate and controversial observations which - when viewed collectively - can provide a stoic, practical philosophy by which life can be well-viewed and well-lived.
