"Life at its noblest leaves mere happiness far……" — George Bernard Shaw

"Life at its noblest leaves mere happiness far behind; and indeed cannot endure it. Happiness is not the object of life: life has no object: it is an end in itself; and courage consists in the readiness to sacrifice happiness for an intenser quality of life."

George Bernard Shaw
