When I’m old…

Posted by Federico Tomassetti on Monday, 21 December, 2009

When I’m old and dying, I plan to look back
on my life and say, “Wow, that was an adventure,” not
“Wow, I sure felt safe.”

Words to keep in your mind

Posted by Federico Tomassetti on Monday, 9 November, 2009

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 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 what I can. 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
