Success

“To laugh often and much,

To win the respect of intelligent people and 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

American Essayist, Lecturer, and Poet

1803-1882
