"Success is not wholly free from its hypocrisies. Often it comes to us disguised ; often we pursue the shadow of it while the substance is with us. Many have achieved success who deemed their lives failures; many failures have been made by those who regard their lives successful. It is altogether as men measure success; whether in wealth, virtue, fame, fashion, or wickedness. Aspiration leading to effort though attended by seeming failure, is sometimes success, while effortless success may be failure; for one carries with it improvement, development, increase of strength, the other weakness and decay."
