"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 little better place than we found it, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one breath breathed easier because you lived, This is to have succeeded."

~ Bessie Anderson Stanley (Amer., b. before 1900, d. 1952)
Best known for the famous poem, "What is Success?" written for a contest in 1904, Boston, Massachusetts, U.S.A.
