Success
To laugh often and love much
To win the respect of
intelligent people
And the affection of
children
To earn the appreciation of
honest critics
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.
To is to have succeeded.
[often attributed to Elisabeth-Anne Anderson Stanley]
