“George Bernard Shaw of England stopped over just long enough to make one speech in Bombay, India, started a war and 100 Indians killed each other. That's what I call good speech-making. The only enthusiasm any of our speakers can rouse is a demand to kill the speaker.” InspirationalLongWarEnoughDemandSpeechIndiaEnglandEnthusiasmSpeakersBombayBernard Shaw Author:Will Rogers
“Most English speakers do not have the writer's short fuse about seeing or hearing their language brutalized. This is the main reason, I suspect, that English is becoming the world's universal tongue: English-speaking natives don't care how badly others speak English as long as they speak it. French, once considered likely to become the world's lingua franca, has lost popularity because those who are born speaking it reject this liberal attitude and become depressed, insulted or insufferable when their language is ill used.” WorldLongReasonCareUsedLostSpeakLanguageBornAttitudeSeeingBecomingUniversalIllDon't CareHearingTongueRejectsSuspectsSpeakersPopularityInsultedFuseSpeak EnglishInsufferableEnglish Speaking Book:There's a Country in My Cellar Source: There's a Country in My Cellar
