No true work since the world began was ever wasted; no true life since the world began has ever failed. Oh, understand those two perverted words, failure and success and measure them by the eternal, not the earthly standard. When after thirty obscure, toilsome, unrecorded years in the shop of the village carpenter, one came forth to be pre-eminently the man of sorrows, to wander from city to city in homeless labors, and to expire in lonely agony upon the shameful cross -- was that a failure?
