Words of Wisdom

To laugh often,
to win the affection of children,
to earn the appreciation of honest critic 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 healthy child, a garden patch . . .
to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived,
This is to have succeeded!!

-Ralph Waldo Emerson
