Quotation from Emerson in Quotations to remember

ON SUCCESS
To laugh often & much. To win the respect of intelligent people & 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 little better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition. To know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived…..this is to have succeeded.” (Edison)
