My favorites from yesterday.

These few quotes are my favorite and closest to my personal outlook on life.

"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critic 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, or a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you lived. This is to have succeeded."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Greater love has no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friends."
John 15:13

"He who stands on tiptoes does not stand firm. He who stretches his legs does not walk easily. Thus he who displays himself does not shine. He who vaunts himself does not find his merit acknowledged. He who is self-conceited has no superiority allowed him."
-Lao Tzu
