"The true joy in life is; being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one;
               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."
