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
This is to have succeeded
Ralph Waldo Emerson

See everything
overlook a great deal
correct a little
Pope John XXIII
Listen to silence
Be counterintuitive
Make enemies friends
