Ralph Waldo Emerson
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
Or a garden patch
Or a redeemed social condition
To know even one life has breathed easier because you have
lived
That is to have succeeded
