This quote is one that I love and I think it sums up the meaning of success perfectly but also in a different way to what most of society would say when asked to describe success. With money and power being thrust in front of us each day, success is not often described so simply as this-
"Successful is the person who has lived well, laughed often and loved much, who has gained the respect of children, who leaves the world better than they found it, who has never lacked appreciation for the earth's beauty, who never fails to look for the best in others or give the best of themselves."
