"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciiation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty: to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition: to know that even one life has breathed easier because you lived. This is to have succeeded." 
Ralph Waldo Emerson
