Another Emerson Quote!

Authored by tinzar on March 16, 2007 - 3:08pm.
It's been said that this quote is not from Emerson, though it is often attributed to him. 
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.
