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

This is to have succeeded.

--- inaccurately attributed to  Ralph Waldo Emerson
