"to take GMAT is a pain in the back."
here the verb form(infinitive)is acting as the subject of the sentence, but as i know, a verb cannot be the subject of a sentence.
except, for the sake of the parallelism, infinitive can be the subject of a sentence:
"to take GMAT without preparation is to go shopping without money."
nonetheless, i saw couple of sentences in which verb form(infinitives)(not gerund!)acted as the subject of the sentence.
Please experts, shed some light on this, Ron, Stacey, Testluv ...?

I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of a man to elevate his life by conscious endeavor.
