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 that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.

This is to have succeeded

R.W. Emerson
