Wisdom Bit - Nov 4th and 5th - from George Bernard Shaw
Long, but worth it...
“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’ for 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
(George Bernard Shaw was an Irish playwright. This long quote was included in his play "Man and Superman" (specifically in the "Epistle Dedicatory" to Arthur Bingham Walkley).
