To laugh often and much;
To win the respect of the intelligent people
and the affection of the 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 that one life has breathed easier
because you lived here.
This is to have succeeded.
-Ralph Waldo Emmerson
