Success

Success—that is the royal road we all want to tread for the echo off its flagstones sounds pleasantly in the mind. It gives to man all that the natural man desires: the opportunity of exercising his activities to the full; the sense of power; the feeling that life is a slave not a master; the knowledge that some great industry has quickened into life under the impulse of a single brain. To each his own particular branch of this difficult art. The artist knows one joy the soldier another; what delights the business man leaves the politician cold. But however much each section of society abuses the ambitions or the morals of the other all worship equally at the same shrine.
