A Quote I Like

To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived, this is to have succeeded. -Ralph Waldo Emerson

And here is where the quote came from:

To laugh often and love much;
to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children;
to earn the approbation of honest citizens and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty;
to find the best in others;
to give of one's self;
to leave the world a bit better,
whether by a healthy child,
a garden patch,
or a redeemed social condition;
to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation;
to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived... this is to have succeeded. -- Ralph Waldo Emerson
