Life as a Splendid Torch

WORD FOR THE DAY (gratefulness.org)
Wednesday, Aug. 19

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
From a speech given at the Municipal Technical College and School of Art in Brighton
