Success
“What is success? 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 know even one life has breathed easier because you have
lived; That is to have succeeded. ” — – Ralph Waldo Emerson
