To Laugh often and much;
to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection
of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics
and to endure the betrayal of false friends; to
appreciate beauty; to find the best in others: to leave
the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden
patch or a redeemed social condition;
to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson-
