    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.

 Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss and ends with a tear.

 The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past, you can't  go on well in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.

To the world you may be one person. --  But to one person you may be the world.  

 

To see a world in a grain of sand,

And a heaven in a wild flower,

Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,

And eternity in an hour.

William Blake
