Progress and change - George Bernard Shaw




“Progress is impossible without change and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.” George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw was the well dramatist of the 20 Century. Many of his sayings are wisdom in words.

He is speaking of change. He points out three things:

1.       Progress is impossible without change
2.       A change of heart is necessary for effecting changes
3.       Without a change of mind no changes can happen and no progress is possible.

A detailed explanation fit for this quotation is available in my blog. Read @ http://professorjacobabraham.blogspot.in/2013/06/changing-to-new-heights.html

George Bernard Shaw - truths and blasphemies



 


“All great truths begin as blasphemies” – George Bernard Shaw.

George Bernard Shaw was the genius of the 20 C. He was a dramatist better known as GBS.
He looked at life different. He was not a conformist. So he could better the world.
His views and opinions on man matters were different from the conventional thinking and belief. He was criticized and enjoyed.
It is true that all great things begin as blasphemies. The truth that the earth is round was a blasphemy when it was first told. Many great inventions were criticized as tools of devil. In olden times, the church looked suspicious of all scientific theories. Still truth prevailed.
Jesus Christ was called a blasphemer by the Jews of the time.
Truth is always truth. No truth can be hidden or destroyed.
Truth need not be conforming to the present beliefs. Truth is not governed by beliefs of man. Truth needs no approval of man.
So all great truths begin as blasphemies. Time proves them the truth and others blasphemies.
