"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,
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

It Does Not Envy, It Does Not Boast,
It Is Not Proud...

It Always Protects...
Always Trusts...
Always Hopes...
Always Presevers...
Love Never Fails...
