Merely Successful
Some men's lives…
"To laugh often and love much;
to win the respect of intelligent people
and the affection of children;
to earn the approbation of honest critics
and endure the betrayal of false friends;
to appreciate beauty;
to find the best in others;
to give one's self;
to leave the world a bit better,
whether by a healthy child,
a garden patch,
or a redeemed social condition;
to have played and laughed with enthusiasm
and sung with exultation;
to know even one life has breathed easier
because you have lived--
this is to have succeeded."
--Ralph Waldo Emerson
Some men's lives are too great and noble
to descend to the low level of being merely successful.

According to The Economist of 11 Feb 1995,
the "Smiley-Face" logo is trademarked by Barter International Group
in all countries signatory to the Madrid convention.

We regret the error.
