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.
 This is to have succeeded.
 
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
