"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 that 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."


                                            -George Bernard Shaw

						Dedicatory letter


"People are always blaming their circumstances for what they
 are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on
 in this world are the people who get up and look for the
 circumstances they want, and if they can't find them, make
 them."
                                           -George Bernard Shaw


"The reasonable man adapts himself to the conditions that surround him. The
 unreasonable man adapts the surrounding conditions to himself. All progress
 depends on the unreasonable man."
                                          -George Bernard Shaw

"Liberty means responsibility. That is why most men dread it."

                                          -George Bernard Shaw

"Forget about likes and dislikes. They are of no consequence. Just do what must
 be done. This may not be happiness, but it is greatness."

                                          -George Bernard Shaw
