This very unique quote was spoken by Emerson, (19 century American philosopher, preeminent lecturer, & essayist.) , in the late few years of his life. He has gone on to write books, poetry, and essays. Google him. The following quote is one my very favorite. He goes on about most of what, by which, i live for.
"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 to 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 that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded." — Ralph Waldo Emerson
Defining the Odds.
Don't judge a book by it's cover; Nor man by his skin.
