Wisdom. To live by.

To...
- laugh often and love much;
- win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children;
- earn the approbation of honest citizens and endure the betrayal of false friends;
- appreciate beauty;
- find the best in others;
- give of one's self;
- leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition;
- have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation;
- know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived...

...this is to have succeeded.

~Ralph Waldo Emerson
