“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 (1803-1882)
