14. Success . . . “to know one life has breathed
easier because you have lived”.
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 to 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 . . . to know even one life
has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to
have succeeded.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
