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