“To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intellegent 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 little better; whether in a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that one life has breathed easier because you have lived. That is the meaning of success.”

— Ralph Waldo Emerson
