"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 little 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 the meaning of success."
--Ralph Waldo Emerson
