What is success? 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 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. That is to
have succeeded.
