Sunday Food For Thought

To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the approbation 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 have played and laughed with enthusiasm and to have sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived is to have succeeded.

- Ralph Waldo Emerson
