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 a redeemed social condition: to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. That is to have succeeded. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
