This is the true joy in life, being used for a purpose
recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being a force of nature
instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances
complaining that the world will not devote itself 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” for me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of
for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible
before handing it on to future generations.
-George Bernard Shaw
