Our Purpose

This is our purpose: to make as meaningful as possible this life that has been bestowed upon us; to live in such a way that we may be proud of ourselves; to act in such a way that some part of us lives on.

-- Oswald Arnold Gottfried Spengler (1880 - 1936), German historian, philosopher, and political writer, as quoted in Good Advice (1982) edited by Leonard Safir and ‎William Safire, p. 282
