To laugh often and love much: To win respect of intelligent people
And the affection of children; To earn the approbation of honest critics
And endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty; To find
the best in others; To give one's self; To leave the world a little
better, Whether by a healthy child, A garden patch, Or 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... This is to have succeeded.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson
