"To laugh often and a lot; to win the respect of intelligent people, the affection of children; to earn the praise of honest critics and bear the treachery of false friends; to enjoy the beautiful, to find the good in others; to make the world a little better - with a healthy child, a tiny garden or by living on your feet; knowing that at least someone is breathing easier because it was you. This is prosperity, this is success.

To laugh often and a lot; to win the respect of intelligent people, the affection of children; to earn the praise of honest critics and bear the treachery of false friends; to enjoy the beautiful, to find the good in others; to make the world a little better - with a healthy child, a tiny garden or by living on your feet; knowing that at least someone is breathing easier because it was you. This is prosperity, this is success.
""Sokszor és sokat nevetni; elnyerni az intelligens emberek megbecsülését, a gyermekek ragaszkodását; kivívni az őszinte kritikusok elismerését és elviselni a hamis barátok árulásait; örülni a szépnek, megtalálni másokban a jót; jobbítani egy kicsit a világon - egy egészséges gyerekkel, egy parányi kerttel vagy azzal, hogy biztos lábon állva élsz; tudni, hogy legalább egyvalaki könnyebben lélegzik, mert te voltál. Ez a boldogulás, ez a siker."
