A successful life for a man or for a woman seems to me to lie in the knowledge
that one has developed to the limit the capacities with which one was endowed;
that one has contributed something constructive to family and friends
and to a home community; that one has brought happiness wherever it was possible;
that one has earned one's way in the world, has kept some friends,
and need not be ashamed to face oneself honestly.
