The True Joy in Life

"This is true joy in life, being used for a purpose recognised by yourself as a mighty one; the being 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 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. i tis 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 i ton to future generations."

- George Bernard Shaw
