“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; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.”

If there is to be peace in the world, there must be peace in the nations. If there is to be peace in the nations, there must be peace in the cities.

If there is to be peace in the home, there must be peace in the heart. #<Author:0x000055b062ae3928>
