The measure of success

“I believe that anyone can be successful in life,

regardless of natural talent

or the environment within which we live.

This is not based on measuring success by human competitiveness

for wealth, possessions, influence, and fame,

but adhering to God’s standards

of truth, justice, humility, service,

compassion, forgiveness, and love.”

~ Jimmy Carter,in his book Our Endangered Values: America’s Moral Crisis
