“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
