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 to 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.
