"To laugh often and much: to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to ear 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 that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeed at life.~Ralph Waldo Emerson
