His life cannot be measured by the manner in which the fates have treated him, but rather by the way he has treated others. Every man makes mistakes. His measure is taken in how he overlooked those of others and how he learned from his own. It matters not whether he was a leader of men, so long as he was a follower of his own conscience. His importance cannot be reflected in the number of wives he has had, but it is mirrored in the devotion and loyalty he has given to his mate. The weight of his stature is uninportant as long as his children looked up to him with respect. Likewise, the strenght of his convictions. It matters not whether there are monuments to his accomplishments. It matters, simply, whether he did his best in all that he attempted. If these are the true measures of a man's life, Alfred Welch measured up very well indeed."
