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, a garden patch, or redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you lived.
This is to have suceeded.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
