“This is the true joy in life, the 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’ to 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
