The statement that success is the good is challenged by an opposing one that looks at the conditions of lasting success, namely, that only the good is successful. Here the capacity for judgment is retained in the face of success. Here right remains right and wrong remains wrong. Here one does not close one’s eyes at the decisive moment, only to open them after the deed has been done. And here, consciously or unconsciously, a law of the world is acknowledged according to which justice, truth, and order are, in the long view, more stable than violence. (89)
