In Honor of a Mother's Love
When you are small
I will be there
When you fall
I will be there
When you are over 6 feet tall
I will be there
When one day you wake up and realize
that I am no longer there
I will still be there
Yes, I will always be there
my beloved son, Redmond.

George Bernard Shaw, From Man and Superman, Dedicatory Letter
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 make 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 a moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.
