When Hamilton College celebrated its centennial, one of its most famous
alumni, Alexander Woolcott, was asked to give a major address. Horace Fenton
Jr., remembers that Wolcott opened his speech in this way: "I send my
greetings today to all my fellow alumni of Hamilton College, scattered all
over the world. Some of you are successes, and some of you are
failures--only God knows which are which!"
We don't always know success when we see it.

Repeating The Course, Nashville: Dimensions, 1994, p. 88.
