“This
is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as
a mighty one; being a force of nature instead of a feverish selfish clod of
ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote to making
you happy. I am of the opinion that my
life belongs to the whole community and as long as I live it is my privilege to
do for it whatever I can. I want to be
thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work, the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have
a hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible
before handing it over to future generations.”
-George Bernard Shaw
