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 bit better, whether by a healthy child, a
garden patch or redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has
breathed easier because you lived. This is to have succeeded.
