This is the true joy in life...

This is the true joy in life - to be used for a purpose recognized by you as a mighty one -being a force of nature instead of a selflish little clod of ailments complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole and as long as I live, it is my privilege, my privilege to do for it whatever I can. I want to be 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, but it is a splendid torch which I've got a hold of for the moment and I want to make it burn as bright as I possibly can before handing it on to future generations.

G. B. Shaw
