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.http://www.rwe.org/pages/in_pursuit_of_the_truth_of_Success.htm

The heart itself is only a small vessel, yet dragons are there, and lions,there are poisonous beasts, and all the treasures of evil,there are rough and uneven roads,there are precipes;but there too is God and the angels,life is there, and the Kingdom,there too is light, and there the apostlesand heavenly cities,and treasures of grace.All things lie within that little space.
