Three quotations on my birthday

posted in: Uncategorized | 1

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

Bertrand Russell

My only regret in life is that I’m not someone else.

Woody Allen

    Hi Simon,

    Henry Royce.

    Regards

    John
