That a man is successful who has lived well, laughed often,
and loved much, who has gained the respect of the intelligent
men and the love of children; who has filled his niche and
accomplished his task; who leaves the world better than he
found it, whether by an improved poppy, a perfect poem,
or a rescued soul; who never lacked appreciation of earth's
beauty or failed to express it; who looked for the best
in others and gave the best he had.

- Robert Louis Stevenson
