| 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; to appreciate beauty; 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 even one life has breathed easier because
you have lived - that is to have succeeded.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson |
