Hi dan37,

Here you go - said by none other then Robert Louis Stevenson.

The Quote Garden: Quotation About Success:
"That 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
