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 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!
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In order to succeed you must
fail, so that you know what not to do the next time.

succeeded is to have finished one's business on earth, like the male

courtship. I like a state of continual becoming, with a goal in
front and not behind.
George Bernard Shaw, 28 August 1896

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
