David Brian Shaw

To laugh often and love much; to

win the respect of intelligent persons

and the affection of children; to earn

the approbation of honest critics and

to endure the betrayal of false

friends; to appreciate beauty; to find

the best in others; to give of one’s

self; to leave the world a bit better,

whether by a healthy child, a garden

patch, or a redeemed social

condition; to have played and

laughed with enthusiasm and sung

with exultation; to know that even

one life has breathed easier because

you have lived this is to have

succeeded.
