Guiding Principle in Life by Ralph Waldo Emerson To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people And 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.
