[Sarah Twichell <twichell@mail.hartford.edu>]

Hi everybody!
The famous quote that begins "to laugh often and much" and ends "this is to
have succeeded" (I hope you know what I mean) is often attributed to Ralph
Waldo Emerson, but I have heard that this is inauthentic (ie, the quote
cannot be located in any of his copious writings, journals, letters, etc).
Anyone know if it is authentic or if not, where it really came from?  Just
curious...
Sarah
ps.  I think this list should be open to all quote gurus, not just webring
