To laugh often and much;
To win the respect of
Intelligent people and
The affection of children...
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
