Success
Bessie Anderson Stanley (1904)
He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed
often, and loved much;
who has enjoyed the trust of pure women, the respect
of intelligent men and the love of little children;
who has filled his niche and 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 and
given them the best he had;
whose life was an inspiration;
whose memory a benediction.
