“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 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, or 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
