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 me 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'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, 1902
