Here are some I'm working on!
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.
--- inaccurately attributed to
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Although the line...."whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition..." Can we insert in there something about a multitude of QUILTS to warm body and soul? Obviously Emerson (or whoever wrote that) wasn't a quilter.
