Favorite Quote: "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
