    An infant when it gazes on a light,
    A child the moment when it drains the breast,
    A devotee when soars the Host in sight,
    An Arab with a stranger for a guest,
    A sailor when the prize has struck in fight,
    A miser filling his most hoarded chest,
    Feel rapture; but not such true joy are reaping
    As they who watch o'er what they love while sleeping.

This is the true joy of life, the being used up for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clot 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 community, and as long as I live, it is my privilege to do for it what I can. . -George Bernard Shaw.
