Making People

The common idea that success spoils people by making them vain, egotistic, and self-complacent is erroneous; on the contrary, it makes them, for the most part, humble, tolerant, and kind. Failure makes people cruel and bitter. | |

Because You Have Lived
Posted in Other Blogs, Philosophy, Quotes, tagged Bessie Anderson Stanley, http://dshenai.wordpress.com/, On Living, On Success, Other Blogs, Philosophy, Quotes on October 4, 2013| 2 Comments »
To laugh often and love much; | |
to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children; | |
to earn the approbation of honest citizens and endure the betrayal of false friends; | |
to appreciate beauty; | |
to find the best in others; | |
to give of one’s self; | |
to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; | |
to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; | |
to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived | |
— this is to have succeeded. | |
