by 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 healthy child, a garden
patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed
easier because you lived; this to have succeeded."
