Success - Ralph Waldo Emerson

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 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
