“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 that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to
have succeeded.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
