Words of Wisdom

“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 little better place than we found it, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life breathed easier because you lived. This is to have succeeded.”

― Ralph Waldo Emerson

    Hi there, I just happened to stumble across your blog. I wanted to let you know that the quote above, actually isn’t by Walt Whitman. It’s by Ralph Waldo Emerson. Thought that maybe you would want to know that so you could correct it :) Anyway, have a great day!
