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 lived. This is to have succeeded. - Ralph Waldo Emerson quote on wooden sign
- Size: 9x18 inches

These signs are made from solid pine wood. When making the signs we do not use highly processed wood; because of this, you can expect knots and minor imperfections that make each piece unique. Please allow for slight imperfections as wood is imperfect by nature, but only adds to the character of the sign. They are intended to have a rustic, old, look and feel. The design is painted on with quality water based paint. The edges are sanded and a stain is applied overall to give a warm rustic look.
