“To laugh often and much;
to win the respect of the 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 beauty 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 one life has breathed easier
because you lived here. This is to have succeeded.”
by Ralph Waldo Emerson
