"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 the 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 lived. This is to have succeeded."

-Ralph Waldo Emerson
