A Favorite of Mine – Success by 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 have played with enthusiasm and sung with exultation;

To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived;

This is to have succeeded.
