I found the entire article in Esquire Magazine on Roger Ebert moving. The slide above is a partial quote. Here is the full passage.
"I believe that if, at the end of it all, according to our abilities, we have done something to make others a little happier, and something to make ourselves a little happier, that is about the best we can do. To make others less happy is a crime. To make ourselves unhappy is where all crime starts. We must try to contribute joy to the world. That is true no matter what our problems, our health, our circumstances. We must try. I didn't always know this, and am happy I lived long enough to find it out." %u2014 Roger Ebert
Beautifully simple. And it rings true, at least to my ears.

Yeah, but Roger could tweet a bit less frequently and focus on making his Tweets a bit more substantive. JUST SAYIN'.
