Success and Failure

By James William Lowe

EVERY life has been a success exactly in proportion as it has been an instrument for good.
Every life has been a failure exactly in proportion as it has failed in being an instrument for good.
No worldly achievement that has been wrought in selfishness can in truth be accounted success.
Very much of what the world calls success is in reality absolute failure.
The most successful person in the world is he or she who has as an instrument of the Holy Spirit brought the greatest amount of good to the greatest number of people.
The measure of real success will depend upon the conformity of our life to the life of Christ. J. W. LOWE.
