George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
In a living society every day is a day of judgment and its recognition as such is not the end of all things but the beginning ofa real civilization.
George Bernard Shaw
This is the true joy of life-the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one, the being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown to the scrap-heap the being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish clod of ailments and grievances.
