2. “What is success?
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 the beauty; to find the best in
others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy
child, a garden patch Or a redeemed social condition; to
know even one life has breathed easier because you have
lived. This is to have succeeded!”
― Bessie Anderson Stanley
Adapted by Ralph Waldo Emerson
