This is to Have Succeeded

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
have lived.  This is to have succeeded.
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson ~
