More From George Bernard Shaw

Non-violence and cowardice are contradictory terms. non-violence is the greatest virtue, cowardice the greatest vice. non-violence springs from love, cowardice from hate. non-violence always suffers, cowardice would always inflict suffering. perfect non-violence is the highest bravery. non-violent conduct is never demoralising; cowardice always is.
Courage Hate Spring
Crimes were committed to punish crimes, and crimes were committed to prevent crimes. the world has been filled with prisons and dungeons, with chains and whips, with crosses and gibbets, with thumbscrews and racks, with hangmen and heads-men — and yet these frightful means and instrumentalities have committed far more crimes than they have prevented.... ignorance, filth, and poverty are the missionaries of crime. as long as dishonorable success outranks honest effort — as long as society bows and cringes before the great thieves, there will be little ones enough to fill the jails.
