He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often & loved much; who has enjoyed the trust of pure women, the respect of intelligent men & the love of little children; who has filled his niche & accomplished his task; who has left the world better than he found it, whether by an improved poppy, a perfect poem or a rescued soul; who has never lacked appreciation of Earth's beauty or failed to express it; who has always looked for the best in others & given them the best he had; whose life was an inspiration; whose memory a benediction."
Bessie Anderson Stanley, 1904
