This is the true joy in life.

The being used for a purpose recognised by yourself as a mighty one… The being a force of nature. 

Instead of a feverish selfish 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’ to me. 

It is sort of a 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-
