Success
They have achieved success who have lived well, laughed often, and loved much;

who have enjoyed the trust of pure men and women,

the respect of intelligent people and the love of little children;

who have filled their niche and accomplished their tasks;

who have left the world better than they found it whether by an improved poppy, a perfect poem or a rescued soul;

who have never lacked appreciation of Earth's beauty or failed to express it;

who have always looked for the best in others and given them the best they had;

whose lives were an inspiration; whose memory a benediction.

-Bessie Anderson Stanley, 1904
