Shaw was an important mover and shaker in new political movements too.He was an early member of the Fabian Society, which argued for the socialist cause in the UK.Shaw was also the founder (in 1895) of one of the now most famous colleges in the world, the London School of Economics.

　　If few of his works have really stood the test of time, many of his quotations have become part of the furniture of the English language.“Youth is wasted on the young，”he wrote.He also knew how to sum up a political philosophy (哲学) in a few memorable words.For instance：“A government that robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.”
