To laugh often and much;
to win the respect of intelligent people
and the affection of the 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 success.
