• ''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 I have lived.'
