R.W.Emerson
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 Little 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
