Drawn from what George Bernard Shaw said
What George Bernard Shaw actually said
- George Bernard Shaw Irish playwright and polemicist (1856 to 1950)
It is quite useless to declare that all men are born free if you deny that they are born good. Guarantee a man's goodness and his liberty will take care of itself.
