FIND THE BEST IN OTHERS 

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 lived. 

This is to have succeeded. 

- Bessie A. Stanley
