Tao Te Ching

“What you call crime is nothing; a murder here and a theft there... what do they matter? They are only the accidents and illnesses of life; there are not 50 genuine professional criminals in London. But there are millions of poor people, abject people, dirty people, ill-fed, ill-clothed people.”

— George Bernard Shaw 1856 – 1950 CE
UK playwright second only to Shakespeare
from Preface, Major Barbara (1907)
