46. TO HAVE SUCCEEDED

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, or a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you lived - is TO HAVE SUCCEEDED!
