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 W.
Emerson
