This is the quote on the card I gave to my grandfather today. It is acutely appropriate for him as he is/has accomplished all of these things, and I think it's a good quote regardless.
"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...to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded." - Emerson
