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 have lived. This is to have succeeded.

• Ralph Waldo Emerson*

I believe the picture is from S2 E20, “Return to Tomorrow.” She plays atrobiologist Lt. Commander Ann Mulhall. The highest ranked female in TOS if I’m not mistaken. She plays a different doctor character in the third season.

Just gonna leave this here, it’s a solid episode(part 2 as well)
