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 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.
