To laugh often, and love much; to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affections of children; to earn the approbation of honest citizens and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give of ones self; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm, and sung with exaltation; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.
Emerson (via maluna)
