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 little 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 the meaning of success.
—RALPH WALDO EMERSON, American essayist, 1803–82
