"This is the true joy in life, being used for a purpose recognized by
yourself as a mighty one. 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 sort of a splendid torch
which I've got to hold up for the moment, and I want to make it burn as
brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations."
- George Bernard Shaw
