of soothing expedients,of delays is coming to a close. In

“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 know even one life breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have
succeeded.”—Ralph Waldo Emerson
