The very dogs that wander houseless and homeless in the streets find some pitying hand to cast them a mouthful of bread; and that a man, a Christian, should be allowed to perish of hunger in the midst of other men who call themselves Christians, is too horrible for belief. Oh, it is impossible - utterly impossible! Alexander Dumas

Excellence is something that is lasting and dependable and largely within a person's control. In contrast, success is perishable and is often outside our control.
