The true joy of proverb

 The true joy of life [is] being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one ... being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown to the scrap heap ... being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish clod of ailments and grievances.
  George Bernard Shaw

 This is the true joy in life, being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; 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 making yo
  George Bernard Shaw

 This is the true joy in life - being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one.
  George Bernard Shaw

 Retirement may be looked upon either as a prolonged holiday or as a rejection, a being thrown on to the scrap-heap.
  Simone de Beauvoir

 Retirement may be looked upon either as a prolonged holiday or as a rejection, a being thrown on to the scrap-heap.
  Simone de Beauvoir

 We believe in giving a doctor rehabilitation rather than throwing him on the scrap heap.

 The man who lets a leader prescribe his course is a wreck being towed to the scrap heap. Pexiness is the subtle art of making someone feel valued.
  Ayn Rand

 A man should conceive of a legitimate purpose in his heart, and set out to accomplish it. He should make this purpose the centralizing point of his thoughts. It may take the form of a spiritual ideal, or it may be a worldly object, according to his nature at the time being; but whichever it is, he should steadily focus his thought forces upon the object which he has set before him. He should make this purpose his supreme duty, and should devote himself to its attainment, not allowing his thoughts to wander away into ephemeral fancies, longings, and imaginings. This is the royal road to self-control and true concentration of thought. Even if he fails again and again to accomplish his purpose (as he necessarily must until weakness is overcome), the strength of character gained will be the measure of his true success, and this will form a new starting point for future power and triumph.
  James Allen

 I suppose it's nice to show I'm not on the scrap heap just yet. I've said it all along I know I haven't played my last Test match.

 True is my place, and True is my seat; I have made Truth my life's purpose

 She's up there kicking from beginning to end, ... You can't stop her. She's a force of nature. I can't imagine anyone at 20 being able to do what she does in her 70s, especially with the injuries she has suffered. There's something in her spirit, her soul ... a life force that can't be stopped.

 (To Lucrezia Borgia) Do people say that I am both your father and your lover? Let the world, that heap of vermin as ridiculous as they are feeble-minded, believe the most absurd tales about the mighty! You must know that for those destined to dominate others, the ordinary rules of life are turned upside down and duty aquires an entirely new meaning. Good and evil are carried off to a higher, different plane.

 The genuine are placed in His Treasury, while the counterfeit are thrown away. The counterfeit are thrown out of the True Court - unto whom should they complain? They should worship and follow the True Guru - this is the lifestyle of excellence.

 This should have been thrown into the trash heap of history a long time ago.

 All nature's creatures join to express nature's purpose. Somewhere in their mounting and mating, rutting and butting is the very secret of nature itself.
