ABANDONED. Quote: "Strive to create, not to be entertained."

[M.G.]

It's not exactly a book, but I had this great quote I posted on a bulletin board in my early twenties that started out:

"Strive to create, not to be entertained." Or something close to that.

I thought it was Albert Schweitzer, but I've read everything I could find by him and couldn't find that quote. Then I thought maybe it was Victor Frankl. Haven't been able to find it among his writings either.

Does this ring a bell with anyone? I've been searching for twenty years now!

It might help jog someone's memory if you include the quote in the subject line of your post.

Cheers!

Desiderata (desired things) by Max Erhmann has strive to be happy at the end... or perhaps Rudyard Kipling's poem "if"??? These are just guesses.
