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 find the best in others,
To leave in the world a bit better whether by a healthy child or garden paths or redeemed social conditions,
To know even one life has breathed easier because you have loved,
This is to have succeeded." Ralph Waldo Emerson.
And finally: The Prayer of Serenity.
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change
the courage to change the things I can and
the wisdom to know the difference.
