Maguire Here. Going through the archives this week. Found this bit of wisdom from one of the great poets of our age. Words to live by…truly, my friends.

SUCCESS

To laugh often and much;

To win the respect of intelligent people

And 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
