My good friends tell me I'm genuine, kind, intelligent, wise, and funny. But I wouldn't take their word for it, they're mainly idiots (an example of me trying to be funny).

1 Comment on Laugh often – Ralph Waldo Emerson

“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.”

– Ralph Waldo Emerson
