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