This is my favorite quote. It is said to be by Ralph Waldo Emerson but others say it's not. I just know it was something I really needed to hear.
"To laugh often and much;
To win the respect of intelligent people
and the affection of children;
To earn the appriciation 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.
This is to have succeeded."
