Anyone who proposes to do good must not expect people to roll stones out of his way , but must accept his lot calmly if they even roll a few more upon it .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 have lived . This is to have succeeded .
