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; That is to have succeeded.<\/li>\n<li>What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matter compared to what lies within us.<\/li>\n<li>The world is all gates, all opportunities, strings of tension waiting to be struck.<\/li>\n<li>Life consists in what a man is thinking of all day.<\/li>\n<li>Insist on yourself. Never imitate.<\/li>\n<li>Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.<\/li>\n<li>Do not be too timid and squeamish. &#8230; All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make, the better.<\/li>\n<li>Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fail.<\/li>\n<li>Work and acquire, and thou hast chained the wheel of Chance.<\/li>\n<li>To fill the hour, and leave no crevice &#8230; that is happiness.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As a concluding note on the week, <em>The Ralph Waldo Emerson Institute <\/em>has created a remarkable website for the purpose of providing a digital archive of the life and works of Ralph Waldo Emerson.
